I got this to cover for my Omega Seamaster while it was in the watch hospital. After 10 years it needed an overhaul.

Plus points, big , rugged, well made, accurate (so far) and seems to be pretty resilient to scratches.

I was drawn to the looks of the momentum, and the 2 reviews seemed pretty favorable. So far it's not been quite what I expected, but for unexpected reasons. Here in AZ it gets hot.. and the rubber strap is not really working out too well for me as it's a sweat machine. The strap is also rugged enough to have a life of it's own. It will not let the watch sit squarely on my wrist. This is due to the strap being a bit too stiff. It also makes buckling it up tricky.

The other problem is the numerals are shiny, so at some angles you see them and others you don't, so I find myself tipping the thing back and forth to see the time in bright Arizona sun light. As another reviewer pointed out the lens on the date is almost pointless as it works only at a certain angle.

My last minus is the luminous markers are a lot less powerful than the ones on the Seamaster.. granted it cost 1600$, but the "technology" is old by now, so there is no excuse for not painting it on thick.
