The only negative I see is that the 24hr markings are useless for 43 year old eyes. I've seen a lot of reviews saying that the second hand doesn't line up with the chapter ring. Mine doesn't have this problem. Its perfectly aligned. It hasn't lost or gained a second since I've been wearing it which has been about 2 weeks. The bracelet is very well made but a bit sharp around the edges. The watch is heavy but to me that's speaks of toughness. The lug width is 21mm which can be frustrating finding a high quality 4 ring NATO to fit it. I guess a 22mm will work. I was apprehensive about buying a quartz but I wanted a do anything go anywhere watch that I did have to take off while chopping through wood while camping. I think this watch will fit the bill nicely for what I wanted it for.
