This watch looks great.
It is striking in appearance and looks quite manly. It feels heavy on the arm. Just for yucks I weighed it and it is 4.1 oz
compared to my dress watch at 3.2 oz. It
felt like it weighed a lot more than my very slim/sleek dress watch. I think that is due to the size. 2 1/8 " from the 9 to the tip of the
middle stem vs. 1. 1/4" on my dress watch.
With all that said, if you are looking for a diver looking watch this
looks the part. It is water resistant
not water proof so it is really a diver looking watch. The two extra large buttons are for quick
correction of date and quick correction of the 24 hour second time zone. That allows you to fix those without pulling
out the stem (crown). The day and the
date are pretty much irrelevant to any one with normal vision. I guess you
have to have extraordinary vision to use them. Even with my bifocals, I had to lift them and
squint to see the day or time.
If you are looking for a smart looking watch that appears to
belong on a Navy Seal and you have exceptional vision and don't mind the size
and the weight, if may be perfect for you.
I asked my teen age grandson his opinion thinking it might appeal to the
younger crowd and he asked me, "why would I wear a watch when I have
my phone?" So this isn't an overt criticism of the watch
as it seems just fine for what it is.
Apparently it isn't for me though.
Oh and it only has a one year warranty which is surprisingly short for a
$100.00 watch. If you need to send it in
for repair you have to include a check for $28.00 for return shipping which is
more than 25% of the price, that just seems exorbitant.
