A really great field watch with vintage vibes
I'm really impressed with this watch. It's extremely well made and finished with a really nice all brushed case. I got this for a brilliant price too. Classic field watch looks but with a modern solar movement, 100m water resistant, screw caseback, good size push/pull crown, lume is good, leather strap is very nice and soft and very comfortable too. Don't need to buy a Hamilton khaki now lol this fossil field watch is amazing! Highly recommended 10/10

Smart looking - Good Value
Good price. I love the face, it's neat, easy to read, looks like early military watches. I have a smallish wrist so I went for the 40mm one. It has a good quality leather strap, but it isn't over-generous in length. If I had a thicker wrist it could be a problem? One thing I wasn't expecting was the time-keeping. It seems to lose about a minute over a couple of weeks. I read that solar powered watches should keep very good time as the batteries should always, if you let the light sun/artificial light fall on the face, stay charged? Some days I sit it on the window sill in full sun for about an hour, but it still lost time!

Bargain.
A Black Friday deal and I’m pleased. Great build, nice size and solar! The case is nicely brushed, the second hand his the mark and time and date setting feels expensive, no play. The strap is good quality and the lume is good. Screw down back.

Sehr schöne,funktionelle klasse Uhr,Funktion u.Handling,u.Optik geil ! Geht sehr genau,mit top Ablesbarkeit,u.der Hammer,Klasse stabiles Vollrindlederband ! Ich habs wie auf Fotos zu sehen,noch 'antiker umgeaged',mit viel Ballistol(öl mehrmals macht farbe viel dunkler ! u.Armband Top geschmeidig),getränkt,dann Armband aufwändiger mehrmals ,nach Trocknung geschliffen,angeschabt,Agespuren etwas sorgfältiger,aber grob reingemacht.....deshalb die Erkenntnis,geiles,stabilstes Qualitats-Volllederarmband ! Es ist zwar nicht mehr so kontrastreich 'zweifarbig',was auch vorher geil ausgeschaut hat,.,aber jetz nach meinem Geschmack umeaged,..ich mag es so...Leuchtfähigkeit bei Dunkelheit zwar etwas küeuer,aber noch auch so lange in dunklwrer Dämmerung gut erkennbar....für mich passts so...gut leicht,u,angenehm zu tragen ist die Uhr auch noch,,'Händewaschwasserdichtheit ist sie allemal,für mehr weiß ich nicht,da,ich es wg,dem Lederarmband nicht mwhr mache...insgesamtTotale Empfehlung !..günstiger f,d.Uhr ! P.s.wer das Uhrenarmband,die Ursprungsfarbe ,zweifarbig so lassen soll,dem empfehle ich statt Ballistoll(Fichtennadelöl,v.Baumarkt,o.a.),das neutrale Kokosöl....

Très jolie montre et de qualité, même si je l aurais pensé un peu plus lourde. Comme déjà signalé dans d autre commentaire,la couleur de fond est bleu tres foncé et ne ressemble pas à la photo. Edit: j ai remarqué quand quelques jours, que l heure avait avancée de six minutes en quelques jours. Je re réglé hier soir et en 24.heures, la montre avance de 15 secondes. J espère un échange.

El nivel de acabado de este reloj es increíble por el precio. Es una preciosidad con un movimiento de cuarzo solar fabricado por Seiko, una correa de piel genuina que se siente y se huele como tal. El grabado de la tapa trasera, que es roscada, está tan bien realizado que parece que lleva un plástico por encima. Ni un fallo en el grabado. Reedición de un histórico de la marca de los 90, la serie Defender, creo que en su quinta serie. Recomendar si compra encarecidamente.
