Infantry Military Analog Wrist Watch for Men, Mens Army Field Tactical Sport Watches, 5ATM Waterproof Outdoor Work Quartz Wristwatch

We assume that youngsters prefer fancy items but they actually prefer items that are simple and when it comes to watches - analog type. So we bought this for our son and he loved it ! It is something he can wear everyday without thinking what would happen if he lost it etc Not to mention it was nice on our budget too.

I really wanted to give this watch 5 stars. Here's what I like and don't like about this specific watch.What I like:1. Very well built. This watch is very sturdy, much more that what you'd expect for a $16 watch. Everything -- the face, strap, buckle -- is strong and well-built.2. Cool design. This is a good-looking watch. The face is just the right size -- not too small, not too big. Minute markers are clearly marked. I like the hour markers (1-24, military format).3. Accurate time: I've had this watch 4 days and it keeps time very, very well.4. Awesome value: For $16, this watch is a bargain. I'd expect this watch to sell for $35 at least.What I don't like:1. Faulty Date Indicator: The date display doesn't advance as designed; i.e., I'm not able to manually advance the date. And yes, I followed the instructions and pulled the crown to the first stop. Date does not advance.2. Only one color? I'm not crazy about the military green. A lot of military gear comes in tan/sand/earth tones. I'd like this watch better if I had more color options.Overall:This watch is good, not great. I like most things about this watch, but if it doesn't function as it's supposed to (the faulty date display), then I'm disappointed.UPDATE May 6, 2020: The seller replaced the faulty watch with a watch that works perfectly. The date indicator was a small quibble, but now this watch is superior all the way around. Cool design, accurate time-keeping, bargain price. The seller's customer service people are outstanding. Thanks for going the extra mile to make this customer happy. Five stars *****.

UPDATED REVIEW:I must give Infantry five stars for customer service. They saw my original review and contacted me and sent a replacement, along with an apology about how sometimes stuff happens after it leaves the factory.The new watch does all the things that a watch should do, so I could have just had one that was beat up on the way to me.It has survived a month of normal usage, including showers and surface swimming without condensation.My original comment about hard to read still applies. My daughter with 20/15 vision thinks it is fine. I suggest taking the picture on this page and shrinking it so it is 40mm wide (that's the dimension of the outside of the round metal frame) to see what it will look like. (I've also determined that 40mm is a bit larger than I like to have on my wrist, although it is typical of mens watches)I find the hands are very narrow and don't always stand out against the other markings. I've also noted that the minute hand is on top of the hour hand, so once an hour it only has one hand visible and it takes a few seconds to process.It doesn't advertise as glow in the dark, and I'm pretty sure there is none.ORIGINAL REVIEW: (was 1 star)hard to read. plus it didn't keep timeMy eyes are not the best, so I spent a day trying to tell what time it was. When viewed on the computer screen photo, the hands are easy to see. In real life they felt narrower and were hard to discern. Then I noticed the time was off and I reset it. Then I noticed the time was off and I reset it. Then it wasn't moving and I sent it back

Good quality watch for the price and 24 hour / military marks make it great for logging ham radio contacts in 24 hour time

Beautiful, elegant, casual, sporty, has some weight to it. Just wished the buckle was black as well like the case but overall pretty good.

There is a lot I want to say about this watch. The TLDR for those who want to cut to the chase is that it is a fairly nice, functional and serviceable watch for the price so long as you aren't expecting high-end/name-brand watch quality and features. The watch looks decent and works well, which was all I was looking for on my tight budget.Anyway, let's get into the full review. This MDC watch by Infantry isn't a bad watch at all for the typical list price. At around $26, it's actually a pretty good watch for the price and has features other more expensive watches don't usually have. It has a stainless steel case, mineral glass crystal and 50m water resistance (the water resistance worked as advertised for me). Watches at similar/slightly more expensive price points usually have brass cases, acrylic crystals and 30m or less water resistance. I personally have a much more expensive name-brand watch that has an acrylic crystal that gets scratched fairly easily. So, on the surface, it looks like a pretty good bargain, and it is for the most part. It's relatively attractive watch that is very easy to read. It's styling is very similar (intentional or not) to a specific Japanese-made field watch series which I personally like a lot. The stock nylon bands look fairly nice, seem good quality and are pretty comfortable. The time has been very accurate so far, which was the most important thing for me. Overall, I have been and am mostly pleased with my purchase of this watch.With all that said, there are two glaring issues I had with this watch. The first was the crown. The crown extends a good amount below the bottom of the case. This obviously looks tacky and poorly designed, but, more importantly, it can make wearing the watch uncomfortable in certain positions. Specifically, the crown would always dig into my wrist when I folded my arms or laid my hands down on something, like my laptop, below my waist. This was really starting to bother me, so I decided to try swapping the stock bands for a nato/zulu style strap to see if that made it more comfortable.This is where the second big issue came about. This was by far the hardest watch to replace the straps on that I have experience in my lifetime of owning watches. The first reason is that the spring bars are shoulderless, which basically makes a spring bar tool useless. The second reason is that the spring bar tolerances (how springy the bars are) are very low. It just doesn't compress very much at all. I tried removing the bars with dental floss and the floss broke before they even budged. It was such a pain. I was finally able to remove one with a spring bar tool, but I severely damaged the bar in the process. I didn't want to damage the case of the watch, so I just cut off the second spring bar with wire cutters. For a watch that came with an offer for a free watch strap (which Infantry did not honor by the way), they sure made it incredibly difficult to swap the bands.Anyway, once I did remove the stock bands, I was able to replace it with a zulu strap. As I suspected, this indeed made the watch much more comfortable to wear, and it looks pretty good too. With the main issue I had with the watch being resolved, I must say that I am fairly pleased with it after a couple of months of ownership. So, if you are looking into this watch, you might want to look into getting a nato/zulu strap for it and some spare shouldered spring bars.Overall, despite two glaring issues, I have enjoyed owning this watch and it has been working very well for me so far (two months). It's a decent watch, especially for the price. Just don't have unrealistic expectations and think this watch will compare favorably to established watch brands. With that said, you are getting some extra features some of those brands don't offer at similar price points. I think you can do worse than this Infantry MDC watch, but you can also obviously do much better.
