I saw that it was shipped in the flight mode; I was interested to see if this would be the case. Once I opened it, I exposed it to direct sunlight for about five minutes to see if it would sync by itself. It did not. I later did a full sync on the top of a parking garage with a complete 360 degree view of the sky on a sunny day. The sync completed correctly in about 25 seconds wich was a few seconds longer than it took my Citizen Appleseed to sync under the same conditions albeit without a location fix. Here are some quick shots.
Nothing too special about the packaging. There is a CD included with the watch:
A couple of shots of the front. As expected, the solar dial is unfortunately very reflective.
