Currently buiding Prototype_A rev4!
Prototype alpha was built only as a sample more than two years ago for a customer from Japan. And it still in excelent condition. This is a truly one of a kind watch.
What is the difference? He is a list of specs:
1. Different power system
1.1 Prototype_a alpha:active mode 3-6 hours, Passive mode 30-60 days
1.2 Prototype_a rev4: active mode 12-16 hours, Passive mode 180+days
2. Unique program software
3. Rev4 is smaller in size
