True watch lovers need to take a close look at this brand! I don't think there is a more rugged watch out there for the price. The guy who started the company is a former professional surfer and his watches are built to withstand the extraordinary demands of this sport.

I purchased this watch as a gift to myself last Christmas to replace a 20 year-old Seiko whose stem could no longer withstand the constant time changes associated with business travel. It arrive prior to the estimated delivery date and was expertly packaged and encased in a very distinctive presentation "box".

This is my everyday watch and I'm known to be rather rough on my watches. To date, there are only a few minor scratches on the bracelet to report. Perhaps more importantly, I continue to get a kick out of it every time I check the time. It is a large, very heavy watch, yet comfortable. The icing on the cake - you don't see these watches on every other wrist. In short, I love this watch!

I haven't worn a watch for two decades. I love precision tools and found that any watch I bought or tried on in my budget range was inferior to my expectations. The prime factor that motivated my decision to purchase this watch was the manufacturer narrative featuring exceptional technical photos of the watch. With the security of ordering through Amazon Prime I felt there was no reason not to order it and try it on. This watch is so comfortable to wear that twice in the several days I have owned it I have worn it to sleep and not realized it until I was in the shower the next morning. That comfort comes from precision forged and machined parts which are ergonomical by design and in performance. The crystal is made of mineral, not glass or plastic. The face is like artwork, hell the whole watch is a piece of art.

I love the chronograph. I wont have to carry a stopwatch or wear one around my neck to do simple timing checks.

Buying one of these watches may end up being the equivillant to having bought a TAG-Hauer in their first decade of production. I suspect this will be an heirloom. Of course it will be a well worn heirloom, but it will still be a perfect timepiece.

I purchased my first Reactor watch about three years ago, and being a watch fanatic I soon found myself comparing all other watches to my Reactor and discovered that none could compare with the quality at anywhere near the price. I now own over a dozen Reactor watches[I told you I was a fanatic] and their customer service is fantastic any sort of problem and they take care of it I have spoken to Michael Olmes, the owners son many times and he has always helped with any problems I have had. What more can I say great product, great service, great prices! Rick Stack

Was hoping this watch looked as good in the flesh as in the Photo.Boy i was not dissapointed.For $99.00 the quality is outstanding the Photon is very nice on the wrist and the face coulour is lovely.Build quality is excellent to.The Photon to me is Retro and also Sporty to look at,well that is my opinion.Hope this review helps.K White Wales UK.

I had some initial problems but the REACTOR folks stepped up in a big way and made them right. Then they followed up to make sure all is well.

This company gets it and does things the right way. Love the watch and have a new respect for the people working at REACTOR.

Came packaged in a metal "nuclear reactor" case. The watch is beautiful, substantial, and heavy. However, when worn, it doesn't feel uncomfortable on the wrist. The copper gradient dial is great, and with the black background, this watch will match with your wardrobe. The band and case have brushed, and polished accents and it looks fantastic. I guess you could say I am incredibly happy with this watch. The best part about purchasing this is not everyone has one of these beauties. It is unique looking, and guaranteed to get looks and compliments. The movement is a quality Japanese movement seen in a few other brands watches and it it extremely accurate and from I heard from Reactor, is very durable, and shock resistant. The lume on this watch is great. Just an hour or so exposure to some good strong light, and the markers, and numbers glow bright for hours. A huge deciding factor for anyone buying a Reactor should be the warranty and incredible customer service. These guys will bend over backwards to make you happy. Repairs are done within 24-48 hours, and they pay return shipping. Unheard of nowadays. Every other sports watch brand should take a good, hard, look at this fairly new company. This is my first Reactor watch, and I know it wont be my last. Better than expected!!

Excellent styling. Built like a tank. extra thick mineral crystal. Solid SST hand polished links, as
well as the case. Entirely mfg out of 316 SST (excellent strengh and corrosion resistance). Fit great
out of the box, unlike most bracelet watches, which are sized for a gorilla. The chronograph can be
set to zero incrementally a few seconds past zero (12 o'clock) to compensate for human reaction time.
Allen screws attach the band to the case,eliminating any chance of separation.
This is truly a beautiful watch. Pictures don't do it justice. Despite its size, it doesn't look or
feel large, and is very comfortable, though a bit heavy.

This is a great watch. And a great company too.Get one if you can you won't be sorry

This is a beautiful substancial watch. My husband loved it and his friends were envious. So apparently they were impressed with it also. The only draw back if you consider it one was the paperwork was not included in the watch case.....But all in all a great watch!!

This watch has exceeded all my expectations,it as fairly heavy but thats because its built like a tank it is well crafted well machined and very comfortable.I have not worn a watch in a while but cant take this one off,had a concern called company and got a fantastic helping employee who walked me through the whole setting of the watch, and explained how to screw down crown correctly as i figured it was user error lol,got it on deal of the day for 99.00 was the icing on the cake,well worth the full price though,oh yeah i am definenately not an employee of the company but i am a fan now....
