Black Ops Watch

I really like this watch.

I'll start with the one negative I've noticed, and the reason why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5.
As a few other reviews I've read have mentioned, it has some pointy edges on the back of the case that can dig into my wrist. If I wear this watch for long periods I notice myself unsnapping the band to get a little relief from the case digging in.

Aside from the one negative I really do like this watch. I find it easy to set. It keeps accurate time, based on comparisons with a Casio atomic watch.

While I don't go diving, I have had it in water, and it hasn't been phased.

It's got a sturdy feel. The ratcheting bezel is taut, without being hard to operate. It's easy to set. The crown turns easily without feeling like it's going to fall off in my hand.
I'm a fan of the all black look. Black dial, black case, black band.
I compare it quite favorably to my Citizen Black Eagle Nighthawk, but... Read more

This watch is big and heavy and you will know you are wearing it without a doubt. If you prefer a lighter watch, stay away from this one. The crown is big and can tend to dig into your hand from time to time. I have been wearing it for a week and am getting used to the feel, still though I doubt it will ever be as comfortable as the seiko dive watch it is replacing.

The watch is heavy, well built and has a solid feel. The crown and back case are screw-down so although not tested yet, I assume leaking will not be an issue during recreational diving. The bezel racthet action is very precise and accurate, it will not turn on its own (something that my seiko would do). Needless to say this watch is very easy to read at a glance in any lighting situation. I can also say I am pleasantly surprised at the accuracy, it has not lost / gained a second in 5 days.

I've actually wanted one of these watches for several years, but wasn't willing to cut loose with $800-$900 directly from Chase Durer. At $599, this watch is a bargain. It's easy to read above the surface and underwater and, if you dive, that's obviously a real plus. This watch is also very rugged without being too heavy. I highly recommend this product.

This is an amazing watch. I got this watch as a gift but never wore it until recently. I love the functionality of the watch and its features. It is dead accurate and for the most part dependable so far. This is my daily watch and I am very careful with this watch, just like many aspects in my life. I enjoy collecting watches and own some Tag Heuers, Omeaga's,Invicta's, and a Rolex. I wanted a watch that I could wear daily and not worry or gripe if I accidentally hit a corner on rare occasions. I wanted a quartz movement because automatic watches, no matter how expensive they may be, will loose time if they are not wound daily or worn. I know some people may have disagreed with that statement but that is one's opinion. I wanted a Swiss movement and company that was not just created yesterday. I wanted a watch that I could dive with but not to do the extreme depths of saturation diving. I like how versatile this watch can be with just about any attire. My biggest and only... Read more
