Bought it as a gift for my husband! He absolutely loves it…he said adjusting to the weight of it is the only draw back but he’s gotten a little more used to it.
I have had this watch for a couple of months now and am very happy with it. It is quite large but wears smaller than you would imagine due to the lack of lugs for the strap. It has plenty of wrist 'presence' if that's what you're after. The strap is pretty firm but feels unbreakable. Aftermarket ones are available but I like the original. Probably too early to tell, but seems extremely reliable so far. Only minor negative comment would be to question the point of the date window. It's so small that unless you have perfect eyesight, it might as well not be there. I cannot read mine without glasses! I love everything else about the watch though. Feels very well built. Fully recommended.
When I purchased this watch 17 years ago, I was a dumb 20 year old that just wanted a BIG watch. I’ve always rode motorcycles and I wanted something I can see while riding on the highway. Let me just say, this is the toughest watch I’ve ever encountered. Within weeks I usually break other watches, but this watch has survived every crazy scenario I can think of. Fire, motorcycle wrecks, mechanic/outdoor work, crazy girlfriends using it as a weapon, and so on!!! I’m impressed and very reluctant to buy any other watch now. The mass and weight of this watch was intimidating, but it’s built like a tank. I may not be a diver and used the watch for its intended purpose, but I am happy with my purchase. I believe I paid $80 for a replacement band, if you’re worried about any maintenance. The face still glows and movement hasn’t changed. It keeps time perfectly!
Great watch for busy Emergency Room RN! This is my 2nd ProMaster… definitely handles everything!
