I occasionally travel across time zones and am always looking for cool "GMT" style watches - ones with at least 2 time zones. When I saw this watch with 3, count them 3 time zones, I jumped all over it.

Mine has a rubber strap. That's important to me because when I travel, I wear the same watch every day - rubber doesn't absorb perspiration like leather and I find it more comfortable that a steel bracelet. The size may be too big for some but for my medium to large frame, this watch looks and feels just fine. So far, it's been reliable and it keeps good time.

Setting the main time zone is easy, the dials to reset the 2 secondary time zones are small and on the left side so they are a little more difficult to set. Visibility is excellent - good contrast between hands and dial plus the hands and numbers glow in the dark.

I looked at the whole line - some very interesting watches in there. Torgoen looks like a winner. So why 4 stars? I would have liked an automatic rather than a battery movement.

My husband is a global manager and does business in US, Europe and Australia. He talks to colleagues in these countries every day and has to work out the time difference every time. This watch has helped him enormously, now it's just a glance. And it's stylish too and is a talking point!!

I bought this watch after looking all across the board for a "pilot" watch. I occasionally fly over many time zones, and really wanted a watch with multiple time zones, as well as GMT "Zulu" time. This watch best is a great value...not inexpensive, but not in the stratosphere like so many big pilot watches. Speaking of big...this watch is BIG! I like big watches, but I get comments all the time about how big it is. Make no mistake if you're looking to buy this watch...it's LARGE. I opted for the rubber strap, which is very comfortable, especially in hot, humid weather. The other band looks classier and more professional, but I have plenty of watches with the usual metal band, and I wanted something different and sporty. It's absolutely a 5 star watch in my book...HIGHLY recommended!

Very nice watch, very distinctive. Convenient to have 3 time zones in one place. The date is a bit small, but this watch is really about the time, and not the date. Feels weighty on the wrist. The polyurethane strap is surprisingly comfortable. I am currently wearing almost daily and it seems to be holding up well.
