InfantryMilitary Analog Wrist Watch for Men, Mens Army Field Tactical Sport Watches, 5ATM Waterproof Outdoor Work Quartz Wristwatch

I have worn the watch for a little over a week now. The watch arrived securely packed in a box with no apparent damage. Start up was easy - simply remove the plastic piece behind the stem, adjust the time and push the stem back in. During the time I've worn the MDC, it has kept accurate time compared to my other dressier watch. It is comfortable and classy looking with a satin finish case. The word "Infantry" is printed on the clasp. I did not evaluate the watch's waterproof capability since I don't wear my watch in the shower or swimming; however, I did not take any steps to shield the watch when I washed my hands and occasionally splashed water on it with no apparent problems. The MDC could benefit from having a stronger dose of whatever allows it to glow in the dark, as I was never able to read the watch in total darkness. It could also benefit from having slightly larger hour and minute hands since the dial is pretty busy with a lot of other characters. All in all, the MDC seems to be a great entry level watch for a very reasonable price tag! I will take great enjoyment in wearing it in the future.

I've purchased this little nifty field watch a few months ago. For the price I must say I'm pleasantly surprised.First, what we know:- Black dial, white Arabic numbers, white indices, and white hour & minute hand, red second hand, and black nylon/cloth strap.- It's runs on a Japanese Miyota 2115 quartz movement.- Case back appears screwdown but is in-fact a pop-top.- Case diameter: 40mm, w/crown: 43mm- Lug to lug (vertical, top to bottom): 50mm- Lug to lug (horizontal): 22mmWhat makes it above and beyond a regular $24.99 watch:- Second hand lines up perfectly with indices.- Minute hand sets exactly even with indices and continues to line up perfectly with minute indices as watch operates.- Price: $24.99. Most field watches costing $25 or less will get the job done, but often do so sloppily and lacking in many areas.- The Miyota quartz keeps excellent time, gaining roughly 3 secs every month. This could hardly be considered unreliable.What it's lacking:This MDC field watch came so close to being the end all, be all of super reasonably priced field watches. The only area where it could use some improvement:- Lume. Lume is bright after first initial charge, however it quickly fades in less than 10 minutes.So there you have it. Unless you're a lume nerd and aren't happy unless your wrist glows neon green for hours, I believe most will be happy with this easy to obtain, easy on the wallet field watch by MDC.MDC, if you're reading. Take your perfection of the all black field watch and offer it in different colors. Army Green, Field Khaki, White dial w/Blue straps. Add a little color variety and you'll easily earn a commanding grasp on the affordable field watch market.Thanks for reading - Hope this helps those still undecided!

UPDATED REVIEW:I must give Infantry five stars for customer service. They saw my original review and contacted me and sent a replacement, along with an apology about how sometimes stuff happens after it leaves the factory.The new watch does all the things that a watch should do, so I could have just had one that was beat up on the way to me.It has survived a month of normal usage, including showers and surface swimming without condensation.My original comment about hard to read still applies. My daughter with 20/15 vision thinks it is fine. I suggest taking the picture on this page and shrinking it so it is 40mm wide (that's the dimension of the outside of the round metal frame) to see what it will look like. (I've also determined that 40mm is a bit larger than I like to have on my wrist, although it is typical of mens watches)I find the hands are very narrow and don't always stand out against the other markings. I've also noted that the minute hand is on top of the hour hand, so once an hour it only has one hand visible and it takes a few seconds to process.It doesn't advertise as glow in the dark, and I'm pretty sure there is none.ORIGINAL REVIEW: (was 1 star)hard to read. plus it didn't keep timeMy eyes are not the best, so I spent a day trying to tell what time it was. When viewed on the computer screen photo, the hands are easy to see. In real life they felt narrower and were hard to discern. Then I noticed the time was off and I reset it. Then I noticed the time was off and I reset it. Then it wasn't moving and I sent it back

Nice watch. Good style.

We assume that youngsters prefer fancy items but they actually prefer items that are simple and when it comes to watches - analog type. So we bought this for our son and he loved it ! It is something he can wear everyday without thinking what would happen if he lost it etc Not to mention it was nice on our budget too.
