The Croton Story

The History of Croton
Croton Watch Co., Inc. was founded in 1878, when there was not the plethora of watch companies as there are contemporarily. Each manufacturer labored to create the horological wonder of the century. Croton was a small manufacturer with the philosophy that precision, quality, style and value go hand in hand.The family-owned and operated business specialized in diamond weight high-end watches that sold to small jewelry boutiques throughout the United States. As Croton’s reputation grew, there was more and more demand for their high quality watches. Croton expanded its bejeweled line, as the discriminating tastes of their customer changed.

Croton Promise of Excellence
There is a Croton Watch for just about any occasion. From 18kt gold diamond studded automatic collectibles to everyday watches in the current season's most fashionable colors and styles. From production through after sales service, Croton stands behind its product. This is the same attention to detail that has been winning the wrists of millions of Americans since 1878. You will see the same high standards exemplified by each of our timepieces in high end department stores as well as fine jewelry establishments. Each Croton Watch carries an unprecedented lifetime warranty on its movement, and the Customer Service Department prides itself on a turn around time of ten days.

This is actually a pretty good watch for the money. You don't often get a titanium case and sapphire crystal in a watch priced under $100.00. The luminosity of the hour indicators, minute hand, and hour hand is above-average; sometimes I can even notice the glow in dim light. And if you have a small wrist like me, this watch is perfect with a diameter of 38mm and a thickness of 9mm.

Also, I personally like a chronograph watch to have an hour indicator (many chronographs max out at 60 minutes), as sometimes I want to know when it has been 4 hours since my last aspirin (I get really bad hangovers).

Let's move on to some things that I don't about this watch. First of all, the hour indicators are shiny (they have a mirror-like finish). This might be fine for some people, but I don't like my watches to be flashy. And whoever designed this watch had the bright idea of giving it the ugliest band I've ever seen. I guess they meant for it to give the watch a sporty look, but I think that a black leather band would make this watch passable in a corporate casual office environment. All I know is that this band has got to go. And while having the sapphire crystal is great for scratch resistance (and it is more expensive), there is a reason why most sports watches have a mineral crystal: sapphire crystal tends to shatter when it is dealt a tough blow. Last but not least, the color of the hands is pretty close to the background color of the watch, making it somewhat difficult to see the time.

All in all, I'd give it three out of five stars.

When I saw the cost of this titanium case-sapphire crystal watch, I wondered what's the catch. People, there is no trick at all: the watch is a beauty and I have been wearing it since its arrival with no complain. Not one! Highly recommended.
