Smith & Wesson357 Series Men's Watch (Relojes de Hombre), Diver Swiss Tritium H3, 20 ATM Water Resistant Tactical Military Watch, Sturdy Band Strap with Swiss Precision Quartz, Christmas Gift (Silver)

This watch is pretty nice. It holds the time well, only about 10 seconds of deviation after a month and a half. (Although how much you jostle it can change that metric.) It has a good heft to it. It’s relatively comfortable, I hardly notice it after sizing it. Most people will need to size this one down, pulling some pins and loops. Gym bros with massive forearms will probably need more length than this watch provides, but other than that it will fit most people.The watch is accurate, I like synchronizing it with time.gov and watch the watch and computer tick in unison.

I bought this watch for my son and it looks real nice. BUT we have only had it for 6 months and it has broken twice and now it keeps getting stuck in the same position (not a battery issue). It has a problem with the gears.Do NOT buy this watch!!

purchased this watch for the tritium vials, to add on a seiko watch ive had. im not a jeweler but work in electronics including micro electronics so i have the tools and ability to change out dials, hands movements etc... after receiving the smith and wesson watch i was quite surprised how bright the vials were in compaired to my traser commander which is only about 3 years old. the smith and wesson was substantionally brighter. the traser was ok to see in dim light and easy in darkness, but i hadnt realized how dim they were in comparison. with a half life of the isotope at 11.5 years, meaning the glow will be half as bright at the time of original manufacture of the radioactive isotope. either i received a bad traser or the smith and wesson has more active isotope. its possible the vials only remain this brightness (as in the smith and wesson) for a much shorter period. for my records i am taking a low light picture and write down all the camera parameter settings and retake a picture of the watch in a couple of years to compare. even though the vials including the indice ring, hour and minuete hand from the smith and wesson are now on my seiko divers watch and the second hand from the broken traser also on the seiko, this is the only way to purchase this h3 isotope as it is heavily regulated and was the most inexpensive way to purchase it on this watch. completed happy with sacrificing the smith and wesson for the vials and and very pleased with the professional results. ive read other reviews where the smith and wesson was to a degree less brighter than the superior swiss made traser, but not in my case. inside the smith and wesson consist of a one jewel ronda movement assembled in thailand from swiss made parts. the stainless steel case back was stamped in china as was the case. all tritium h3 vials are made via the swiss company MB-MICROTEC and calls them trigalight "gtls" (gaseous tritium light sources) so you can be assured this watch contains the same vials as the high end marathons and trasers and others. maybe the technology has acheived a better standard since my traser purchase in 2009 maybe they just use more glass coating phosphors for the isotope to react to, but either way, this watch contains some pretty bright gtls. *as a caution note for those that have not experienced gtls watches, they are not as bright as a good quality watch using standard lume (phosphorescence)initially, but those luminous pigments dont last long, even the best ones with the thickess coatings, not even the strontium aluminate can achieve the longgevity of h3 tritium. which in essence should still be glowing to the naked eye in over 20 years.so any advice would be to see how it works from a friend that may have a watch or dealer first before adding a comment in a review somewhere that they didnt light up the room for you. the watch itself is pretty good, but mine had a slight smokey film on the inside of the glass itself. the rotating bezel was crisp with 60 detents and excellent knurling to grip for rotation. the bezel 60 marker is of standard lume, as is the second hand. the stainless steel watch band is very good and has positive locking mechanism. here is a link that gives a good represintation of approx brightness levels... google- traser watch or mb-microtec.

I got this watch yesterday and, so far, I love it. Great looking watch--band is very nice and is comfortable. Rotating bezel has a very positive action--not at all loose as I saw in one review. Very important to me: Luminosity of the dial is superb. I saw some reviews saying the dial was not very luminous but it was outstanding for my purposes. Mind you, I have not tried this in a scuba situation but in a darkened room the luminosity was more than adequate. I looked for a long time to find this watch and I am glad I found it. (The case it comes in is also very cool. interestingly, it also arrived set at the correct time. Either coincidence or extra care taken.).Have had the watch for 2 days now--luminosity is even better than I thought--I have used it as a very low light source a couple of times and have found luminosity allows viewing the time in a car at night while driving. One downside--seems to me that setting the time and date are a little difficult. Maybe with time I will get better at that.

[EDIT 2]It is 7 months after I ordered this watch, and while it worked flawlessly up until today, just now the second-hand has completely broken off, and is rattling free inside the watch, and the minute and hour hands have stopped turning. This is utterly disastrous, and the watch (while still glowing nicely) is now completely useless. I dropped my 5 star rating to a 3 star because of this.I have no internal sense of time. I also find myself, surprisingly often, in situations where the clock on my phone isn't accessible. I'm wearing heavy gloves, or can't reach into my pockets because I'm on a bike, or my phone's in my pants which are in another room. I also live in a city where it gets dark at 4:30PM for months at a time. This means that my previous watch, a solar-powered Citizen Eco-Drive, would stop every year in the winter, because it got no sun. So I got a replacement watch, that had glow-in-the-dark hands like the Citizen... but it was cheap and it stopped glowing an hour after dark and that sucked. So I returned it and bought this one.Pros:* The people complaining that the glow isn't bright enough need to get their eyes checked, the Tritium tubes in mine glow brighter than any watch I've ever had, glow-in-the-dark or indiglow.* This thing feels bombproof. It's a good bit bigger (and heavier) than I'd like it to be, but it appears to be the smallest all-metal waterproof Tritium glowing watch for under $200. If you've got a smaller or lighter one that fits those criteria, please comment on this review. I am 100% fine with wearing women's watches, because I'm a man with tiny wrists and they frankly fit better.* Screw-down crown. My Citizen needed an $85 repair at one point because the crown stem got bent and let water into the watch. That's pretty impossible with the way this thing's designed.* Great band. The links are small for precise sizing, rounded so they don't tear your arm hair out, built very strong, and firmly attached to the body. They also can bend fully flat, so they curve to your wrist really well. They squeaked a tiny bit when I got the watch, but spraying Boeshield T-9 into the joints has completely fixed that.[EDIT] It's about 1 month after I bought this, and while the band is still amazing, the band-to-core attachment joint turns out to be TERRIBLE. The pin connecting the band to the watch body has bent and subsequently fallen out, I've got to go get it repaired, that didn't last very long at all.Cons:* The little glow-in-the-dark dot on the bezel popped out within a week. Fortunately, it appears this was designed to be replaceable, and it doesn't appear to compromise anything about the water-tightness of the watch. I never use the bezel anyway.* Heavy. By far the heaviest watch I've ever owned. Admittedly, this is cause it's built like a tank and made by a gun company, so it's targeted at guys with Schwarzenegger wrists who won't even notice. That said, it's still wearable, and is actually thinner than a lot of other mens watches out there.* 2-stage clasp. This one seemed like a big pro at first, I liked the idea of the extra security. In practice, the second part of the clasp keeps undoing itself randomly when it catches on stuff. I'm debating just cutting it off.I wish it was 50% lighter, had a day-of-week indicator, and an unmarked stationary bezel, but other than that, it's the watch of my dreams.

I surprised my husband with this watch, and he loves it. It's well made and looks great on.
