I was apprehensive when ordering this watch, since it does not fit my usual criteria.
If nothing else, I figured it would be a 'cheap' addition to my collection.
However, the Nautica Eclipse is nicer looking than you might think, if not 5 times better.

At one point I worried that the arrow and numbers on the bi-directional bezel may not line up perfectly with the hour markers after having been spun/clicked around.  Lucky for me this is not an issue.  I have used the start arrow in many locations without inaccurate line-up with desired click zones (Always lines up with ticks).  If yours does not line up please exchange or obtain a refund.  Also, I've noticed some reviewers stating that the bezel does not spin at all.  I would hazard a guess that either 1) the bezel is stuck 2) it's a different model 3) it's a slightly different production run, newer or older which does not have the same bezel as mine.

Impressive and crisp detailing go a long way to making this watch eye catching.
Brushed chrome accent around the dial (from the 2 o'clock position to the 8 o'clock position) looked whiter to me in the photo. This new discovery is much more pleasing to the eye. Also, thin chrome accents framing the sub-dials are an nice touch not accentuated in online photos.

One reviewer surmised that the blue parts of the dial are dark enough to pass for black.
While I do not agree with this I will say that for anyone looking for a pale blue dial, this watch may not suit your needs as it leans more towards a navy blue dial.

Large (Chronograph) second hand extends all the way across the diameter of the dial, instead of simply covering the radius.
The unique push-buttons and screw-down crown help this timepiece stand out.

I greatly admire the Nautica 'logo' sail shape on the screw-down crown and caseback.
(As well as the hexagonal 'screws' located above and below the bezel, towards the band.)

Another great feature of this watch is how it appears in the dark, luminous hands and hour markers longer and more prominent than some.

This watch destroys my few forays into alternate/cheap watch brands such as Invicta, which were a massive disappointment.
For $100 I highly recommend this watch.
