This review is virtually identical to the one I wrote for the blue version of this watch.The watches are identical except for the color of the watch face.
There is nothing not to like about this watch. From the moment you take it out of the box you will know it is a quality timepiece. All parts are machined to fine tolerances. Most of it is brush polished so it will not show scratches as much, but part of the bezel has just enough fine polish to accent it's beauty and design. The watch has a solid feel and the heft of stainless steel so you know it can take some real punishment. The sapphire crystal is thick, solid, and crystal clear. The magnifying cyclops is underneath the crystal so there is no bump to mar the smooth surface of the crystal. The unidirectional rotating bezel has 120 clicks and rotates firmly with a very satisfying resistance. This Swiss Army Divemaster is rated to 500 meters WR, which is 300 meters more than most dive watches. It is one of the few watches you can feel comfortable with for real diving. The watch does NOT have an exhibition back. Of course, being a true diver, it has a screw-down crown.
The bracelet is made of solid stainless steel links connected with friction pins. It has solid end links. It has a diver's extension. It also has the capacity for minor length adjustments by movement of a small pin in the clasp. The clasp is a dependable deployant model with locking clasp. The metal of the deployant mechanism is heavy and solid, not thin stamped metal like that used in cheaper watches. The hands and the hour markers are coated with a substance that is nicely illuminated in the dark after exposure to light. The lume is quite nice. Much better than many other watches I have tried, though not quite up to the standards of the Seiko Monster. Finally, this watch keeps great time. What more would you expect from a Swiss Made quartz movement? The watch is comfortable, reasonably priced, built like a tank, yet sized just right for an average person, and looks great. These are, by far, among the best quartz watches I have ever had the pleasure of owning.
It is unfortunate that another reviewer had the experience of receiving one example of a manufacturing defect.The entire line should not be judged by one example.As far as I know such experiences are rare, and until they increase in frequency, my opinion of the brand and model will remain intact.
