Painfully lackluster homage to the Big Tic
I have the original. I was so excited for the reboot. This unisex watch with only half a digital screen is a sad reimagining of the former glory. Returned it immediately. It feels and looks cheap. Why is it so small?

My favorite watch but..
I love this watch so much it’s so freaking sick but it stops telling the time randomly so I think I got a bad battery or something. Regardless of the issue the watch is so fire. Literally

Not like the original
I was hoping it was like the original from a few years ago, but sadly it’s not. The face is not bright at all. You can barely see the flames. The older ones were way better and brighter.

Looks can be deceiving, regrettably.
While the uniqueness of the animated flames on the graphic digital dial of the Y2K Big Tic Stainless Steel Watch is the main reason I purchased this watch, the flames are not as brilliant or noticeable as I had anticipated. I make this statement even after adjusting the intensity of the flames. Despite the fair-sized 40 mm dial, one has to angle the watch in a specific way just to view the movement of flames. Therefore, the pictures of this watch in the advertisement (including the one with the model wearing it) are deceiving for the flames are not as bold in person. .... Quite disappointing.

Very disappointing
I was heartbroken when my original stopped working, so was very excited by this new model. I wish I’d read the reviews - the ticking seconds are barely legible - the contrast is terrible and not nearly as good as the pictures or the original. Deeply disappointed.

Well built! Shame its dark...
My son asked me for this watch im the 90s and I told him no. He passed away a couple years ago and I bought this in his memory. Limited edition, nice presentation overall. Comfortable to wear, feels well built. The display of the flames is very dark, almost cant see it at all. The pusher works fine on mine. Two distinct patterns. As dark as it is, a bit of a let down. Still glad I bought it. Wearing it right now. Seems to keep time well enough.
