This Poor Man's Pulsometer Is Freaking Awesome!

It's kinda criminal how few decent pulsometer watches exist for those who don't want to spend a ton of money on one.

I'd call the bezel knurled edge. The 24 hour indicator is very useful for hospital workers. You lose your sense of daily rhythm in the fluorescent light environment in hospitals, especially interns and residents working 24 hour shifts! Power reserve is also useful in this context, even though I generally don't like it cluttering up the dial.
Neat watch!

I own the Boldr Medic Field watch. It measures breath and pulse. Titanium case and sapphire crystal.

Very cool pulsometer. I think watch makers shine when they find a way to give the users (us) an alternative and economical way to have a complication on a watch.
An example is the Boluva A-15 pilot watch, using 2 internal rotating bezels to accomplish a 12 hr chronograph. Some people didn't like it, I love it, as I think this poor man's pulsometer hits the mark too.

Love the caseback and the bezel! Drilled lugs would have been awesome! The blue lume and white dial gives off a medical vibe. I quite like this watch!

Not sure on this one. Other than a bezel insert with different printing than normal, I'm not sure what extra I'd be getting to justify the price. Take that bezel insert away, and it's a very standard tool watch with decent finishing and a bias-cut bezel.

That is a fantastic watch I have never seen before. Thank you for the video!!!

Damn it, Jory…now I've got "Blue Moon" (The Marcels' version, of course) running non-stop in my head. *Anyway*, that's one hell of a pulsometer, although I'll say that most of the watches I've ever come across with pulsometer scales on the dial were *not* chronographs, requiring the user to wait for the second hand to reach the starting point /indice of the scale. (Some pulsometers had two identical scales at opposite ends of the dial to eliminate the need to wait for the seconds hand to make a full revolution of the dial.) The wildest version I've ever seen was one Seiko made sometime in the late 80s, which had a quartz movement with smooth-sweeping seconds hand reminiscent of a Spring Drive watch, but predating SD by quite a few years. Kixking myself for never picking one of those up.

24 hour indicators make it quick for me to do military time, so i have no issues with that.

[dmleibo]

Is it me or is the pip not lining up with the center of the 12?

[richardbently]

Zeppelin makes a better looking pulsometer for $200, it is a quartz though.

Also if you're moving the bezel you are not taking the persons pulse at the same time....seems kind of clunky to use moving the bezel.

[spicydragon]

Is it just me or is the case and bracelet the same as SO MANY Sub homages we've seen with a just a cool bezel and different bezel insert? I don't know, I think there are better watches for pulsometer use. Having a button allows you to find the patients pulse and not having to turn a bezel and chase the second hand, which is hard to do when you have one hand on the patient.

[xpdchief]

A 24 hour display is helpful when resetting a watch with a date complication once the power reserve is depleted.

[aarons.stuffs]

So you turn the bezel and then have to quickly grab the patients arm/neck and find the pulse before it hits the arrow? Seems hard. If it had a pusher I guess you take off the watch and start it with your free hand when you find the pulse? That seems a lot easier, but I’m not a dr I just play one on YouTube

I don't think the price tag makes it a poor man's watch. Not at over 600 USD...
Personally, I think the pulsometer is a good idea and so is the design of the caseback, but the originality of the watch ends there. I think the price has been unnecessarily made too expensive. Why assemble it in Switzerland? And why the power reserve indicator? The watch could easily have been made in a high-quality factory in Asia with simpler entry-level 3 hands-movements and still have the components that make this watch unique. This way, the price would have been reduced to 1/3 of what it is now plus maybe with more room for aesthetic creativity for the dial and case shape design, as it just does not have much to speak about aesthetically.

They should of use some thicker hands on this one.

[jimt]

Love everything about this watch, except the japenese movement and the range, Unacceptable and I wouldn't buy it for those reasons alone. I really like the layout out, bezel, size, etc.

[Makingnewnamesisdumb]

14mm thick watches have no right to exist in current year.

[Jubal.Harshaw]

Why do you use 'functionality' which is a global term instead of 'function' of the watch specifically. "Functionality" refers to the capability of a group of items (like a style of watches), whereas function refers to the action a specific thing (like an individual watch) performs individually or is intended to perform specifically. The watch has a specific function whereas the style or group of watches posses a specific or intended functionality.
(Clear as mudd... RIGHT? Blame it on Harcourt Fenton Mudd!)

I hate almost everything about this watch except for the case shape, which obviously he can't take credit for
