I bought this watch in 2010. It has worked flawlessly for the last eleven years while never needing a battery replaced. I have used it roughly and in some pretty extreme environments and it has never missed a tick.
I bought this watch before deployment in 2008. It kept accurate time and stood up to the elements. It is now well past the warranty date and still operating.

This is exactly what I was looking for! I am small-average build for a woman and this fits perfect! Not too dainty, yet not the normal oversized man watch face, but comes with a durable military-style band. The watch is sleek enough thy it could also be dressed up with a metal band too! My husband has had a similar Eco-drive military-style watch for nearly a decade now, so I knew, if it looked okay on my wrist (size-wise) it’s be a keeper!

Very good watch. It looks great on my wrist. No bells or whistles. Very dependable. It started to die after about 6 years but after over 2000 days of wear that's still not bad.
I've had this watch for about two years now. At first I was a bit disappointed with the luminous accents as they were quite dull. This has happily changed as time went on. Now they are quite strong and how for a longer period of time. Fantastic watch, classy not flashy. Oh, she keeps perfect time to boot.
My first one is going strong after 7 or 8 years. Bought another to use with a different band. Simple face, with full numerals, appropriate for a smaller man's (or woman's) wrist. An ideal modern analog watch.
I took a star off, because the band that comes with it should be of better quality.
This is my second Chandler! The first one I had for 7 years. Over that time I wore it every day. It finally needed to be replaced after being damaged by accident. I've had many watches in my 74 years and the Chandler stands head and shoulders above the rest.
Dig the look. I've been wanting to get a decent replacement for my watch I had when I was in the Marines. The watch met the expections of the citizen quality.
