" ... Seems like a good solid watch. ... "
" ... I've been wearing daily for six months and it still looks and works fine. ... "
" ... Build quality, design, comfortability: all very good for the price point. ... "
" ... I still have one of those two and it still keeps excellent time but the crown has become so corroded from sweat over the years to make it difficult to to set when necessary. ... When this new one arrived I was so impressed with the much heavier and obviously more rugged upgraded design that I ordered another. ... "
" ... Very comfortable and I love the all-black look and the textile strap. ... "
" ... This one has a genuine leather wristband that should last quite some time. ... The "arrow" second hand is also cool. ... "
" ... I was pleasantly surprised by the watch hands which glow in the dark, making it possible to read the watch in the dark even without pressing the watch stem. ... "
