An Observation

Maybe this is old news to most of you, but it’s something that is relatively new to me. I bought my 226570 in April 2024 from my local AD. I also own a 116040 and a 116710BLNR.

Any thoughts?

When I do enable it, it beeps twice on the hour as it should. I also checked the alarms and for any active countdowns, but there is nothing there that…

Share your PARNSRPE watches

I’ve been thinking of taking the plunge on a couple of these for some time now.
The name does kind of look like a row of left over letters in scrabble, that you can’t make a word out of…. But it’s certainly memorable.
That aside, some of their watches are very appealing (especially the retro divers!) but they get very little attention compared with other similarly priced brands online.

So, what have you got and what are your thoughts?
