This watch is probably the best quartz watch that I have ever owned- bar none, including Seiko watches costing 3 to 4 times as much. It's accurate to the second, of course, and has taken all kinds of abuse (beach, ocean, tennis, white water rafting, etc.) and still looks brand new.

The watch has a screw-down bezel that really remains water tight, even over time. (I have had this watch for about a year.) The face is clear and glows in the dark incredibly bright and for a long time.

The only problem I have is with the 24-hr markings on the face. This gives 3 rows of numbers (see above picture) and makes the face appear a little less clean than it could be, but it has not detracted from my joy and confidence in this watch!

FOLLOW-UP: I have now had this watch for over 3 years of active (and at times abusive) use. It still glistens and looks nearly brand new. I have never had to set the time, it still glows brilliantly in the dark, and has not yet required a battery replacement. After 3 years; still highly recommended

FOLLOW-UP #2: I stumbled across my old review here and thought that I might as well mention that I am still wearing this as my main watch (though I love watches and even have some, such as a Jaeger LeCoultre, that are extremely expensive). It is now 5 1/2 years old! In the meantime, I have had one battery change. Otherwise, it has very few scratches, continues to look great, is comfortable, and continues to be water-proof, including surviving ocean swims. This watch is aging much better than I am and continues to be highly recommended by me for the above reasons.

This is a highly functional, no-nonsense watch. It is very accurate and has a clear, easily readable illumunated dial, with 12 and 24 hour and five minute interval markings.

I got written up for being late for work. I bought this for what Railroad Approved means, accuracy and a clean watch face. I prefer the stretch band for work. I set this thing a month ago to Atomic Time and it hasn't lost a second. Pulsar is owned by Seiko. Buy this thing.

My husband needed a watch that keeps the time to within a second a month and this one fit the bill. Very sturdy too. We did have a problem with the first watch we ordered, it would not keep proper time at all, but Amazon came through perfectly on the return process even though this purchase involved a "third party" vendor. 5 Stars for Amazon too!

When I pulled this PULSAR Watch out of the box I went "WOW", it is that nice, and luckily enough the Stainless-Steel Bracelet fits like a Glove, I hit it so many times so far and Not a single Scratch, and I have it for several months now. Since I'm not a Pearl Diver and don't go near the water, I am not that concern about the 330 Feet, water resistant, but I do love the Illumination Glow part of it, you can see the whole thing at night, I am so glad I got it, such a nice looking watch for so little money. I am wearing it right now, Thank You

Outstanding watch.I love the off-white face of this watch and at night it glows like a beacon. Day date very large and easy to read.Large numbers on dial make it so easy to tell what time it is.Second hand is slightly off center to the right of minute markers, but not enought to make a difference.I like the fact that it has a screw down crown making it water resistant while washing your hands or taking a shower.Screw down crown is rare for a watch that is rated 10 bar.Lets face it, you buy a watch to tell time and this one is deadly accurate. I sent this watch to the atomic clock and after 1 week the time is dead nuts on!!If you are a time freak like me, you can NOT beat the accuracy of this watch, even compared to a much more expensive one. Way to go quartz movment.I also own a SEIKO KENETIC and CITIZEN ECO-DRIVE and this watch keeps the time as good as the CITIZEN and slightly better than the SEIKO(the SEIKO runs about 10 seconds fast a month).Just a great functional, nice looking watch!

Purchased this watch to replace an identical watch I have had for over 10 years ago. This is a basic watch that is very accurate and provides day and date. The illuminated dial still shines brightly. My old watch is showing wear and tear from daily wear. Battery life is excellent. I have been so happy with my old watch that I wanted to order another before this model is discontinued. Purchase was smooth and swift. At my age this should be my last watch purchase.

I look at it this way, a watch that doesn't keep time is worthless. As far as this timepiece is concerned, IT WORKS!!. The watch is nicely done in rr fashion, red numbered 24hr dial, red second hand, bold black hour numbers and minute marks, day date, etc...... the screw down crown and case back are a nice touch, the lumibrite dial is a nice feature but doesn't glow long enough and the luminiuos coating gives the impression that the dial is somewhat blurry, although, it is easy to read. The speidel band is a good deal also, after I removed a link it fits great, very comfortable to wear and light weight. Overall it's very accurate and comfortable to wear, a nice watch but not too nice to wear everyday or to work.

This is a great watch that keeps very accurate time. I wear it for work but it's nice enough to wear out as well. The stem is slightly tricky because it actually screws in to make the watch waterproof but just read the instructions first and you will have no problem. After exposure to light the face glows for quite a while and works well. This is a very good watch and I recommend it.

A local jeweler has been recommending this watch to me for years as his best seller. When my son, who is a nurse, needed a new watch a couple years ago, I gave him this watch for his birthday. He works nights and needed a watch that is waterproof, has a second hand, and is visible in low light environments. He loves it. When I recently broke the crystal of my current cheap watch, I ordered this one. Though I haven't had it long, I am extremely satisfied. It's not a fancy timepiece, but it is rugged, highly functional, extremely accurate and makes a great everyday/work watch. I was willing to pay the retail price if necessary, but saved nearly $50 through Amazon. A deal hard to pass up.
