I originally bought the quartz version of this watch but sent it back because the second hands we so out of alignment with the markers. I then received the mechanical version which I have had for about six months now. The mechanical version has a more detailed face and in my opinion is more attractive. The glass on the back adds a nice touch of quality, the fact it is there always surprises me when I see it and I feel impelled to watch the mechanism working for a while. I bought this watch because I want to be able to read it in the dark. I own a Sinn 587 but the lume isn't very good for that sort of thing despite it cost much more than the Dive Master. (Sinn get your act together). This watch really glows and I can easily read at any point during the night (assuming you live in a latitude that experiences around 8 hours of darkness). I sometimes use a light to get it really glowing and you can use it like a torch after doing that, a totally pointless exercise really. I have had no trouble with the coating so far, there are no scratches anywhere I can see and I wore it every day while renovating my bathroom so it did get some rough treatment. The bezel works well, I wish they would make a 60 click version that is bi-directional then it would be perfect for me. As it has been designed for diving I am not going to take off any points for this. My Sinn has a nicer bezel but for the price this one is good. I wear my watch with a Zulu strap and it looks very utilitarian which is what I look for in watches I choose. With 500m water resistance you can wear it in the shower no problems assuming you get it serviced to keep it in good working order. It's not as heavy as some people suggest, I prefer heavier watches that is just a personal preference. Overall this is a well-made, attractive, durable and functional.
