I love this watch but it came with no user instructions. There was a note indicating that there was setting instructions within the pamphlet but, there was only a note about where to go on the website to download a pdf file for user instructions. DUH!!!! Why not put the instructions in the box???? I received the watch and wanted to wear it that day. High marks for the watch and low marks for the company.
Excellent basic military watch however the illuminating dial markers and hands illumination level was low. In pitch black after exposure to bright light the numbers,hands and markers were dim.
Good: The watch is awesome! Faithful recreation of the MIL-W-3818A, and part of sales go to a great cause. Could not be more happy with the watch! Bad: The band is too large for average wrists. Only fits 7 1/4" thru 9 1/4" wrists. My 6 7/8" wrist left the fit too sloppy, and resulted in premature wear of the leather reinforcement around the last hole after only two weeks. You will need an aftermarket replacement band if you have a small to medium sized wrist.
Classic design watch with cool history. The watch seems dirty and has an amazing look. Got this for a birthday present for my son, and like other reviews note the band is really designed for someone with giant wrists apparently. We have it on the last hole in the band and it's still a bit loose. They really should add another couple adjustment holes.
