I've had this watch now for about a month. I have around 14 watches now and this watch is one of my favorites. Looks masculine but attrative enough to wear for most occasions. Easy to read dial with big numbers and big hands with contrasting colors. The watch band is awesome.

I've owned this watch for 3-4 years. I bought it because I liked a less expensive, sort of standard model Luminox that I still own and like.

I've almost lost this watch about five times because one of those removable pins that allows you to take out links simply came 90% of the way out on its own without me noticing. The only reason I even have the watch now is because the watch either fell off my wrist or became loose enough to fall off when I was in a safe spot. I have replaced the pins but the problem reoccurs. I'm bothered because it's not the same pin that falls out. It has varied from one to another.

Recently,the watch has started to totally stop functioning on its own. I pulled out the stem and fiddled with the watch and it started working again, only to stop like this every few days. Since it supposedly has a 10 year lithium battery I don't think it's a battery problem. Usually, when batteries go dead, they go dead and there isn't all this stopping and starting stuff.

Finally, the clasp or latch for the band is very loose and doesn't stay in place.

You might think I'm some kind of Navy Seal who gets into fights with the watch on or am some kind of adventurer (haha!) but I'm just a 59 year old guy who hasn't taken the watch more than 2 feet under water and has always treated the watch gently.

I have now owned this watch for two years, and love it. The white numbers against the black face make for easy reading and a bold look. The sapphire crystal has not scractched yet, but the band does scratch easily which is to be expected from stainless steel. It is rather heavy, so if you perfer lightweight this watch is not for you. The gas lighting feature works very well.
