I tend to agree as the one thing I find a little disconcerting about the Bel Canto is that there's no immediate way to know it's running.

Re: ACT II
From my perspective, it's more so that I can set it more accurately. I generally set it roughly 3 minutes ahead of the actual time, then when the chime goes, I pull the crown and wait for the real time to catch up. With a running seconds, you don't need to do this.timepieces_and_bags wrote: ↑Tue Oct 29, 2024 10:25 pmI tend to agree as the one thing I find a little disconcerting about the Bel Canto is that there's no immediate way to know it's running.

With some turns of the crown and then wearing it, I'm generally confident it is running.

Re: ACT II
Just a gentle reminder for this thread, too, not to reveal anything that was discussed on the preview call (or any other embargoed information) until the product is launched on the CW website - expected to be tomorrow. Thanks. This includes posting about embargoed information that can possibly be found elsewhere.

Re: ACT II
Unfortunately I had to leave by car and I had a long way to go so I didn't see the presentation. Can I still see it somewhere or do I have to wait for tomorrow?

There was no recording, so you will have to wait for the launch tomorrow, unfortunately.

No, sadly. CW previews are live stream only. They're not recorded.zagado26 wrote:Unfortunately I had to leave by car and I had a long way to go so I didn't see the presentation. Can I still see it somewhere or do I have to wait for tomorrow?
You'll have to catch up tomorrow.
