Customer Reviews:
Simple, rugged, functional, and looks good! By AmbuBadger
I picked this watch up locally at a Fossil store. The thing that attracted me to it was the bezel, gave it that Seiko diver's look. The numerals stand out enough to make it easy to read despite the black face, and the subdials are adequately numbered for rough estimates. Here's a simple rundown, taking other watch movements and build quality into account...
PROS:
Love the looks, but that's subjective. Objectively, it's easy to read the time and the hands stand out enough without being too distracting.
The bezel is unidirectional, only able to move counter-clockwise. For those who actually use it, that's good since you can't bump it the other way and "give" yourself more time.
The bezel is 120 clicks, meaning you can set your time at half-minute increments.
The bezel is easy to manipulate, not too sharp, and clicks solidly in place.
The date is black on white lettering, making it easy to read.
The sweep hand (seconds counter) lines up precisely with the ticks-- maybe an OCD thing, but I like that.
Water resistant to 10 atm; never been that deep, but I did hit it with a 1.5" handline shooting CAFS and water, and it still functioned.
The crown and well-defined notches, easy to make fine adjustments to the time.
CONS:
The sweep hand should be stationary until you activate the timer, with the subdial counting seconds-- but it's the other way around on this watch, making tachymeter markings hard to use.
The 3 o'clock subdial indicates 24-hr time rather than measuring anything. Rather useless to me, but great if you're on a sub or anywhere else with no windows...
The 9 o'clock subdial only measures up to 30 minutes; an hour would be nicer, especially if your dryer runs for 45 minutes.
The lume is so-so. Wish they used something brighter.
The bezel is missing the number 10 at the 2 o'clock position. How they neglected to put this there is beyond me!
OTHER:
The case back is plain and smooth, so it doesn't collect any dirt or grime.
The bezel is tight against the case, so no sand really gets in there.
The glass is flat, but sits a hair above the bezel, so it can get scratched.
Overall, this is a good tool watch-- something durable that won't mind getting as dirty or working as hard as you do. You can get it pretty cheap these days, I say go for it!
