路It looks like the first model does calculate the % of a 24-hour day. The second model let's you set a percentage countdown timer in 5 minute increments up to a maximum of 12 hours.

路So does this operate on a 24 cycle or 12?

路They're only available in Japan so where else, but Ebay.
I used a seller that had the style I wanted and showed 100% positive ratings (if one can take ratings at face value).

Yeah, Dsloan has much to answer for. I don't even like quartz watches and I've ordered two because of him.
Wait, wait! Did you know that Seiko also made a drum machine watch!?:

路The Japanese have an amazing appetite for the weird and wonderful, they love a gizmo, so it鈥檚 no surprise that Seiko understands how best to fill that demand.
And I鈥檝e gotta say that the likes of Seiko, Citizen and Orient are vastly underrated in comparison with Swiss brands

Can't handle digital displays on my wrist.
Besides, it just wouldn't be the same thing.

Quick report back to this thread.
Ordered two metronome watches out from a Japanese Ebay seller on Monday. One for our eldest son and one for me.
Presto!
They arrived to our front door before 3 o'clock today. Fastest international Ebay shipping I've experienced yet!
The watch offers time (no second hand), metronome audible, metronome visual, and pitch. Dials can be had in several colors, stainless steel case or gold colored case with brown or black straps.
The strap is insubstantial faux leather and made for midgets. It only fits my eight inch wrist on the last hole and then very tightly. It's a bit cheap-o. It will be rectified. The watch offers a stainless steel case with drilled-through lugs.
The owners' manual says the watch must be shipped back to Seiko in Japan for battery changes. It uses a CR2016 battery. I can't imagine why battery changes cannot be accomplished here in Texas. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cr2016+b...648993&tag=googhydr-20&ref=pd_sl_3e1muk7xht_e
All in all, a handy gadget for the musical watch maven. Accordion players too!

Awesome!!! I'll order the drum machine watch and we can start a band. Do you think my neoclassical speedmetal guitarwork will pair well with your accordion?

路路Home For Wayward WatchesWalrus; Gregg Bissonette shared drumming with Ringo at that concert, carrying the act when Ringo was out front singing or even playing keyboard while singing "Don't pass me by."
Oh yeah, Dsloan! The accordion with goes well with anything, heh! Well, at least as well as your neo-classical speedmetal guitar will go with "Lady Of Spain" and "Maleguena."

路It's like Guigaro, Seiko, and a Ploprof had a baby! Is this an official Seiko watch, or another company using Seiko movements?

路It is an official Seiko.....designed by Guigaro for Seiko collaboration with fashion brand CabaneDeZucca around 2001/2 I think. I found these two and was going to gift them to my grandsons but they have no interest in wristwatches.
Kids these days. Those are fun, and have an automatic movement to boot!
I'm trying to get my kid interested in watches, but they are much less exciting than dinosaurs right now.

路Ok, I put a bid in on one of these. Probably won't win, but I kinda love the countdown timer presets on the bezel of these yacht timers. I'd 100% buy one of these if they reissued it.

Credor does look pretty amazing. I haven't seen one in the metal before, unfortunately. If I was a multi-millionaire, I'd pick up one of their enamel-dial three-handers.
But, TBH, this is more like what I was going for with this thread:
I've been googling around, but can't seem to figure out what the "km" markers or settings on these giugiaros do - are they some kind of tachy scale? At first, I was wondering if it had some sort of pedometer setting, but 100.0km sounds pretty extreme for that to be the case.
