“I think that the bezel is way to loose and soft. It moves with ease if I just tap it with my finger.
Also, the bezel alignment is just off but no worse than a Seiko. The hour hand is slightly misaligned as well but not egregiously so (picky watch enthusiast). The domed crystal is awesome and the look of the watch on the wrist is very stealthy. The watch is also surprisingly light. The finish and quality of the watch is fantastic. The watch is losing 18 sec per day, which is fair performance from this Seiko movement. The shipping time and communications were also satisfactory given the global situation. Overall, I'm satisfied with this watch.”
“This watch is an amazing value and looks and feels amazing on all size wrists big and small. The classic turtle design is timeless and so comfortable to wear all day and night. The accuracy out of the box is amazing, and lume is equal to any seiko diver and even more enhanced with the fully lumed bezel. The domed sapphire crystal just puts it over the top. An amazing value that ticks all of the boxes.”
“I have purchased 3 watches from You thus far and I feel the quality is there; however, I choose 2 day shipping and it took much longer this time. I asked You to respect my purchase by refunding My shipping and You have refused which makes Your company SubPar. No more watches for Me. That over a couple of Dollars, but I am a man of principle.”
“I like the all-black coating, the movement as is works perfectly acceptably. the domed sapphire gives a very attractive distortion effect and I like the lume on both the dial and the bezel.
Downsides? I'd have to say the strap may not be to everyone's tastes; the double-layering to hold the keepers is a little stiff and scratchy and I'm not really thrilled by the keepers being on the underside of the wrist rather than the far edge as it would be on conventional NATO or Zulu straps. I expect this may soften with time, but a strap replacement should be no biggie.
The other thing? Not really Mark's fault, but people ordering from outside the US should be aware that there may be an additional customs surcharge. In my case, it was $70CDN. Not particularly outrageous given the price of the watch, but still pretty significant and something you should be aware of.”
“I thought the bezel was way to loose. It moves with ease , just tapping it with my finger. I’m going to replace the click spring to see if that helps. Finish and quality was great. Shipping and communications, great. Overall I’m pleased, thank you.”
“This watch has almost all the ingredients of a great watch: Nice even DLC coating, nice domed, sapphire crystal, excellent lume, lumed ceramic bezel. The only thing that is holding this watch back is the loose, sloppy bezel. I wouldn't use this watch for any critical timing functions. Fix the bezel and this watch would be a home run.”
