I think an RdM indicator is ...
... useful on any automatic watch. The state of wind is so dependent on your degree of activity and winding efficiency of the movement that you otherwise never know the state of wind of the mainspring. [Completely unlike a manual wind watch that you can just wind to full whenever you wish - although the UR-210 gives you the option of manual winding as well.]
And although it may not apply to the Urwerk, there are many watches that have better isochronism and performance when they are more than half wound, at least in my experience. So it is helpful to see that there is a reasonable amount of power reserve on the mainspring.

Felix Baumgartner demonstrates his personal UR-210
Late last year I met with Felix who was wearing the prototype UR-210 . The watch had been on his wrist for 11 months and he had just delivered the first eight pieces to customers. Join Felix in this video as he shows the features and functioning of the UR...
Wonderful Post, Fantastic Watch.
These watches are masterpieces. That they are so original, yet legible and wearable, is truly an accomplishment. I worry that, if I were to wear one, I would stare at it all day and never get any work done. Also, there would be little risk of me doing any...
Good complication but superfluous maybe ?
It's interesting to read about this new complication and I agree that it is useful. Just wondering if this complication is superfluous , especially when the PR indicator is there. To me, while the PR indicator indicates the amount of power reserve and the...
Good comments
The Efficiency display is a 'snapshot' of your activity, averaged over the previous two hour period. Unless you are being very active, or waving your arms around, the power reserve is not going to move very much in that 2 hour period. You are of course co...
yes , I like the review..
and the pictures that you provided. Urwerks has always been very innovative in their design of watches. The rotary arms that shows the hours and minutes are so "Urwerk" by now, that it has become the brand characteristic. Most people who notice the watch ...

Thanks for your thoughts and reactions to the Urwerk watches. Alternative ways of time telling, not using traditional two hands, go back hundreds of years and while many companies, like AP, have dabbled I think it is true to say that Urwerk have made an a...
I thought that it was a good review. I wonder of what use..
Is a power reserve if it is under two days? That is not just for an Urwerk.
