Great watch in many ways... so light you forget its on, accurate Eco-Drive time keeping, and classic good looks to boot. Did I mention its case and bracelet are titanium, with a sapphire crystal? Very nice features to have at an affordable price point. I was looking to get my first titanium watch and the Garrison has been a great watch to start that journey.
I have been using this watch for one month now. My previous watch, which lasted 30+ years, was a Seiko which was thinner and lighter. The Seiko luminescence was mostly gone after 30+ years and the day part of the day/date function stopped working but, the watch was still accurate to 10 seconds a year. This new watch has barely more luminescence than the Seiko after 30 years. I fully charged the battery when I got this watch so I am waiting to see how long it lasts without specially charging it. I actually find I prefer the known 3-4 year battery life than having to get my watch environmentally charged (I wear it 24 hours). The accuracy is within limits (loses 8 seconds a month). The watch is also bulkier than the Seiko. Seems like a decent watch but honestly, I wish I'd gotten the Seiko. Smaller, lighter, more luminescence and better accuracy (after 30+ years' experience of daily use 24/7).
I have been a satisfied Eco-Drive owner since 2008. This Garrison is the ninth Eco-Drive in my collection and it is definitely one of my favorites. I have become a fan of field watches and this does that style really well. It's easy to read and extremely light on the wrist coming in at only 84 grams, sized for my 7 1/4" wrist. I'm glad for the sapphire crystal but wish the crown was screw down to support the 100M water resistance. All markers are fully lumed and I would rate the intensity of the lume as good but not great.
This is my first real watch as i enter the world of watches. The design is clean, the eco drive is an excellent innovation, a nice simple day date complication rounds this watch of very nice. The Super Titanium is crazy light and makes for a comfortable wear for someone who is not used to wearing a watch.
