Review: A nice, readable, rugged watch - accurate for its price - Even though I work in tech, I still like an old-fashioned mechanical watch. I think this watch is attractive in its simplicity - it is easily readable and it is not busy - it is not "too much" to look at. It is not too large in circumference. It is a little thicker than I prefer but still not too bad. This watch has more of an old-fashioned, rounded look to it that I like. Maybe it is how the lugs are configured? This watch is more accurate than some mechanical watches I have that I paid twice as much for. I found with my particular watch that it runs a few seconds a day slow when I wear it but it runs a few seconds fast if I leave it face-down overnight - it seems to balance out so overall I can go a surprising number of days - I think a week or more - before I feel like I want to reset it. And it has a "hacking" feature so it is easy to set to the second. The watch seems rugged. I have gotten conflicting info on whether the crystal is sapphire or glass so I don't know. I have worn it daily and I have not noticed any scratches. But my normal adventures are trips to the office or the grocery store and not, say, rock climbing. The lumen is adequate but not spectacular. This is one of the best options you will find if you are looking for a simple, inexpensive but well-made mechanical field watch.
Review: Sweeping second hand. Great quality - Bought this for my Dad’s 80th birthday. I was impressed as I was worried. Very nice quality and the second hand sweeps. That was a very nice surprise. The image on the back is very nice and the band is comfortable. It’s not a large face and the simplicity of use is perfect for him.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweeping second hand. Great quality
*by P***O on January 8, 2026*

Bought this for my Dad’s 80th birthday. I was impressed as I was worried. Very nice quality and the second hand sweeps. That was a very nice surprise. The image on the back is very nice and the band is comfortable. It’s not a large face and the simplicity of use is perfect for him.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice Watch. Currently Averaging Sub 1 Second per Day Variation.
*by M***Y on April 6, 2025*

Fantastic. After about a week of wear, it's consistently running about 0.25 seconds per hour fast. Or about three minutes a month. I hack it every morning to NIST, but it's nice to know the movement is so well regulated. I plan to have it a long, long time. Edit: We have settled in. She had been gaining 6 seconds per day, but a month and a half after the above review, she's averaging 0.75 seconds per day of gain. Wildly impressive for an automatic, let alone one in this price bracket. I mean, it's out performing watches that cost 10 to 100 times more. Will update if accuracy suffers. Or somehow improves. There's really not much more room for it to get better, but we'll see I've stopped re hacking each morning, instead, I rehack with a few seconds lag vs nist and will re hack when I've a few seconds gain vs nist. I wear it all day, no scratches or damage yet (Knock on wood). I take it off to sleep and have it rest Crown Up overnight. The approximate 15 hours of wear each day keeps it plenty topped off - I don't have to manually wind at all. I notice a lot of people looking at it. Looks great on a plain nato strap.
