I was looking for a good looking, automatic sport watch, and this seemed to fit the bill at the time. The two-tone with the blue face fit perfectly with my uniform. 300 meter water resistant for those times I find myself going in the water. All the features I wanted. I asked our department "watch guy" about the 2824 movement, and got quite a lesson on the Eta movement and how they are used in some very high-end timepieces. So when the watch came and was gaining several seconds a day I was a bit concerned until I read more about it and found that it was normal for a new automatic movement, and that that would change in a few months. It did. Now I am resetting my watch every day (sometimes twice). Now it's not unusual for it to be gaining 100-120 sec. each day. I checked inside the handy glass window on the back of the watch with a bright lamp and a 10X magnifying glass, and could not find the Eta logo, normally stamped on their movements, anywhere in there. I now suspect that the "2824" reference was a nice little bait and switch that I sadly bought, thinking it was an Eta 2824-2 automatic movement. Because of strict Swiss laws, I have no doubt that it is a Swiss movement, but more than likely a Mark 1, Mod 0, bargain basement movement, but Swiss nonetheless. Avoid this puppy like the plague, unless that is, you're one of those people who are chronically late for everything. If that's the case, buy two, and you'll never be late again.

Very happy with this watch and the way it was made. It is Swiss made but the company is based in Canada. This is a solid watch and compared to the Rolex Submariner this is a great deal. The only downside to this watch is its a little smaller than I expected. This is the first momentum I have purchased and I am impressed
