| Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating : - This is an excellent watch I've owned this watch for over five years, and am now about to purchase another one with the atomic clock upgrade. Some people have expressed concern over the watchband, crown, scratches, useless internal dials, power, etc. First off, I'm in the Air Force and travel all over the world frequently. This watch has been wonderful, as it is extremely easy and quick to adjust between timezones. I work in aircraft maintenance and believe me, this watch has taken A BEATING over the years. My face is scratched, but they are barely visible unless you are looking under good light and really searchign for them. Nothing has ever broken on this watch, including the crown and no real noticable scratches on the band. When not in direct light, my watch automatically goes into power saving mode which is great, I can still tell time I just lose the digital displays and the second hand, both of which jump right back to life the second light hits the face. This watch was mostly charged when I purchased it and the power level indicator has never dropped below 3 bars, and I have never formally tried to charge it - just through normal use it has mantained its battery level and never run out of juice. Illumination is a bummer, but the hands themselves have some illumination so it is possible to read in low light but difficult. As for useless functions, if you are in the military (this is basically an aviators watch) you constantly have to jump between whatever time zone you are in and zulu time, which is actually UTC. So the extra UTC dial is very helpful to me when I'm working on aircraft systems which are based entirely on UTC and I'm sure pilots really enjoy it. Overall, buy a watch based on what you need it for, not becuase it looks cool. If a watch has way to many functions for you to use, buy something cheaper with less options. Accuracy is great, I'm really anal about my clocks being accurate and check them once a month against the atomic clock in colorado and have only had to adjust this watch once or twice a year by a couple seconds. Bottom line, this is a great watch, very rugged, very appealing to the eye, very functional. If you like the looks and can actually use the options it comes with, you will be happy with it for a long time. (unless your a moron like me and want the one with the atomic clock reciever) + See Full Customer Review |  |
