Just got one and was wondering if the dial window shipped with a plastic film to protect it? Mine just has some film on the band clasp.
Beautiful Watch Shows Time + Date May 20, 2010

For those who are wondering if you can set the watch to show both the date and time, the answer is YES.
I don't really travel that much anywhere, but I love the aesthetics of this watch. That is why I bought it.
I set both Home City & World City to CHI (Chicago for Central Standard Time). So when I set the mode to TIME, I get both the ANALOG & DIGITAL time of CST. But I set the mode to CAL (calender). So now I get the ANALOG time + DITIAL day/date of CST.
The first thing you have to do is set your HOME city: TIME MODE.
Then set your WORLD city (away from home): CAL MODE.
To set the World City of your choosing, set mode to CAL, then press the A or B button until your city/time zone appears (like CHI, DEN, LAX).
Then after you're done setting HOME & WORLD city, you can choose either TIME or CAL mode.
I'm 5'8" 165lbs. The watch wrist size was slightly big, so I had someone at a watch store resize it for me. They took out 3 links. Now it fits perfectly and looks awesome.
And of course, the best part of the watch is the Atomic (automatic & on-demand) time/date setting. When I first got the watch, I had to try out the on-demand Atomic time setting and it worked perfectly. I also placed my watch under a lamp and after 2 hrs, I got the highest (fullest) battery reading. Even out of the box, the battery level was at the 2nd highest reading. But now it is at the highest level.
I love this watch. It is so cool-looking. It feels great.
