Hi Houghy,
Was just looking at a picture of you at astrofest with your mountains of packed-up equipment...

Off-hand, there is no functional difference between the two.
The Worldwatch case (and metal band) is Stainless Steel (with optional Gold plate) and the Inca case (and metal band) is Titanium.
The worldwatch is smaller in diameter than the Inca (43mm compared to 48mm) and the worldwatch is 1mm thicker (higher profile).
Scroll down to the table at the bottom of this page for comparisons
The worldwatch and Cozmo are essentially the same thing.
Umm... I have one of each....Only because the Worldwatch was the original design back when I bought it and was only the one model. It didn't have moon rise/set on the face, only sun rise/set and length of day/night and lunar phase. I recently had the internals upgraded to a Worldwatch II as the case is identical to the Worldwatch II.
I have eyed these timepieces of since they were first released and advertised in S&T and Astronomy back, gee be nearly 10 years ago. I couldn’t afford it then, and i cant now, but I think I will order the worldwatch11 for $495. And its $58 US for delivery. LOL I will save it up and give to my lovely wife to give to me for Christmas.......the caveat here is that this will cost me a trinket or two for her.......Ordering Now
Hi Houghy,
Good stuff! I really don't think you'll be disappointed!
Once you get used to having sunrise/sunset, moonrise/moonset and moon phase all visible easily at any time, you'll probably (like me) wonder how you ever lived without it!
well i have done it now.......only time will tell if i did the right thing
Thanks for being the guinea pig, HOughy...... I look forward to scrutinising your watch at Lostock (assuming you are coming).
I doubt I will be in a position to place my order much before December as I am aiming for something more around the $US800 mark (which will be over AUD1000 incl shipping). That is a lot of pennies to scrounge.

might not have it on my arm by then - be for my anniversary or christmas..........cant rush these things.......
I'd love one, but can't buy one right now with the days ticking down to our wedding. I have asked my family to all put in for one for Christmas, so will wait and see Sure would love to hate the sun rise/set and moon rise/set times available like that.

no peer pressure at all Roger - what are you going to order

To be honest I'm having some trouble working out which is best. I'm finding it very hard to compare them. The Inca 206.4 is what I like the look of best but other than having a second time zone I can't work out if the Zulu 106.4 is any different. I would like to compare sizes and weights of them but can't seem to find dimensions and specifics of the Zulu it's a little frustrating that the spec's page doesn't seem to have such details. My default will be the Inca unless I find the Zulu is smaller or lighter but with the same features.
The main (perhaps only) differences that I can ascertain between the Inca and the Zulu is the number of links (sideways) in the wristband, and the outer ring (bessel). As I have no use for a second time zone, and I prefer the simplicity of the Inca bessel (no added numbers to crowd the watch face), I am inclined towards the Inca at the moment. What I can't decide between is the marine setting (I really like the rose gold/blue colour combination), or the yellow gold/titanium combo. As I wear a yellow gold wedding ring, I think the yellow gold/titanium is probably more complementary.
good luck with that Scott but i bet ya she will be requesting more than the cost of your watch is that a brave jesture to make
