5 stars and well deserved November 3, 2008 I have had this watch for about 1 year now, i wore it consistantly all this time. Its pretty darn durable being solid titanium, (band as well) The tritium illumination is top notch. Can EASILLY see the time when its dark.
DO NOT BE MISLED BY PHOTOS OF THESE WATCHES.
NO TRITIUM ILLUMINATED WATCH GLOWS AS BRIGHTLY AS THEY SHOW IN PHOTOS. If you could see the tritium glowing during your day, you would certainly be poisoned from the emiting beta particles.
You can however cup the watch with your hand, and after a few seconds see the glow,...but it will only appear to be bright ONLY after your eyes have adjusted.
in pitch darkenss...it actually looks like LED lights shining....its pretty impressive...and people in the car when driving have commented on how my watch kept glowing..
therotating bezel isnt as "tight" it kinda has alittle play...but after usingit almost every day for a year, it still isnt any looser than it was from day one...so i guess its solid..
all in all great watch
Horrible quality connecting pins November 7, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
At first, I loved this watch. Its rugged, cool-looking, and is great at night. However, THREE of the band pins have broken. The first two were the ones on either side of the watch body. Luckily they were common sizes, so easy to replace... Not the end of the world. The more recent one was on the connecting band, and my local watch guy can't figure out what size the pin should be. He says I'm basically S.O.L. since he checked his entire stock, and the pins on this watch are very soft, mild steel, and thus prone to breaking.
If you are OK with constantly repairing and replacing parts, then this watch is for you. I would have rated it higher, but it has become such a hassle and annoyance to me that I can't even get it fixed. I'm very disappointed with their choice to skimp on such important parts, no matter how small they are. For the record, I wear this watch to work and on weekends, not during any type of high-energy or jostling activity... I'm completely at a loss as to why its been so difficult to keep it on my wrist.
Like I said, other then the pins, its been a cool watch and I've liked it, but now it sits on my desk.
