That's not an actual moon phase, is it? Looks to be a day/night indicator.

It is basically am/pm like you said. I posted a video elsewhere on the watch. I know it's apples and oranges in a am/pm vs 29.5 MP, but for my money there is no merit on the other watch regardless of function. By the way, you can buy another color for even less of the same watch @ watchgooroo $169.99. The case back reads sapphire crystal, but both sellers show sapphire coated in the description. :dunno:
