I am completely amazed that I am still wearing this watch. I thought I had given up on analog watches 25 years ago. This watch tho, it looks so damn good and is rugged as hell. The mineral glass and a small lip has prevented ANY scratches on the face, not the case for all of my digital watches. So I no longer have take off the watch when doing the yard or the car or woodworking...

 The face is large (1 1/4 inch- 32cm) so it is easily readable. The hands will stay luminous most of the night by holding it under a light for 20 seconds or so. White hands and complete numbers along with all the tick marks on the black background makes for a great looking watch.

 The watch feels and looks like a high quality watch. The titanium case is bulletproof and show no wear at all even after 9 months. The band goes through the solid titanium fixed lugs and then UNDER the watch. No worries about the watch band breaking off! Completely one piece construction and the offset watch adjuster is nice touch. Takes about 5 turns and locks down tight. This watch will definitely outlive me.

The nylon or whatever band is excellent, stiff at first but rugged, excellently reinforced with strong stitches and has a neat foldback feature that works well (so no loose end sticking out). With the ease of coming off, the band could be easily swapped between the three types, leather, nylon, and whatever the third one is... Nylon takes an hour or so to dry after a swim. The watch band fold holder is NOT titanium so shows some wear- who cares?

 The swiss movement is good but not perfect. Keeps good time (10-15 seconds a month). Only real complaint is second hand is off by a scootch to the marks and I have to fuss with the minute hand to get it to align to the mark when setting it (trick- back it up then move it forward into position otherwise it will move when the stem is depressed). Of course since this is the 1st analog watch I have owned in 25 years, maybe they all do this, heh. I did miss the date window until I started bothering to remember what date it is- no trouble now. Like I said, not perfect but this costs slightly less than a Rolex..

  Waterproof? You betcha. Absolutely no sign that this watch leaks at all. I took the back off with a cheap watch repair kit I bought that has the 6 prong remover. Good seal and battery should last the 6 years they predict. Regular 371 battery.

 Verdict? If you buy a couple extra bands and batteries are still available in 2030, this will be the last watch you will ever need to buy, and it looks damn good at the same time. 5 stars for sure. Hmm, I wonder if we will have implanted watches by then or a little voice activated chip in our ear?
