- Hands on with the new Breitling B70 Orbiter 🎈thanks to the Breitling Squad for letting me play with it for a while.
A super light SuperQuarz beast with a pop of color on your wrist. Fun little watch if you’re into the AnaDigi world 😉
Happy 140th Anniversary Breitling 🥂
Sehr coole Vorstellung
Danke Harry 🙏🏼
Just received the Orbiter yesterday. But, the B70 is very difficult to set up the digital time, hands, date, day. I have two Aerospace Evo's and they are sooo simple. You need to do a video on how to set up this watch I have an engineering degree, very tech savy, and, I follow the instructions, but, it doesn't seem to work. Driving me crazy. Other than that, it's a beautiful watch
Good feedback! And how do you like the fit and the look of it if side by side to the evo?
Follow-up to my original post.It took numerous attempts and a call with Breitling Customer Service (which was no help)to set up the watch, but finally did it it. I love the watch. The digital displays are bigger than the Evo and you can adjust the lighting level and duration (up to 20 seconds). Once you learn how to use the three pusher buttons, it’s fine. My two big disappointments are there is no minute repeater (like the Evo) and the alarm and countdown timer beeper sound is barely audible. I could never use the watch for an alarm wake-up, unlike the Evo. The store manager at the Breitling Boutique Palo Alto, CA store agrees with me. I think the balloon material (visible in the back of the case) is muffling the sound. I’ve talked with Breitling and they are looking into it. Also, Breitling says they are rewriting the owner’s manual.
The digital displays/lighting are a definite improvement from the EVo. The orange face is beautiful. But, the B70 mechanism is much more complicated and difficult to use.
I am getting mine in a week or so - I might need help setting it up please?
@@RyanOConnorZA and RockyMoss- I got mine yesterday and its not like the prior gen so takes a bit more getting used it. First you want to synchronize the hands to 12 to make sure they are aligned. Click the crown until you are in config mode, click the other button to see hands and then click the crown to see HOUR - Now long press lower button to move 3 hours at a time and click it incrementally to move it in fine steps. Your goal is to land it at 12. Click the crown and do the same for minute hand. Now both hour and minute should be exactly pointing at 12. Click crown to get out. With this done, back in normal time keeping mode, hold down the crown to get to setting mode and click the crown to cycle through and use the other buttons to change. In one time keeping position you change year, month , day and the other one you change the time. I will see if I can post a video on this but the key is clicking the crown to cycle through. THe manual isn't much help! The watch is amazing though
I could help set up the Orbiter, But, probably best to call Breitling Customer Service. They need the practice and need to hear from customers. Depending on your time zone, the watch may be set up when you get it. I’m still having a problem with getting the Alarm function to work. I think I have set up both Alarm 1 and 2, but can’t get the alarm(s) to sound. Quite annoying. The B70 movement needs an upgrade. Since the watch is covered under warranty for 4 years (free 2-year extension when you buy from Bretling), I would hope that happens at some point.
Please show me how the alarm clock works, I’m interested in how it rings, I’m thinking about buying this watch, and this is important to me. Thank you
I read from a user who bought one, was saying the alarm sound is muffled by the balloon material in the back, which is a shame.
Hey! Thanks for your comment!Unfortunately it was just a loaner and I don´t have it here with me anymore, but yeah it´s a bit tricky to operate :D
