A beater for the good watches. Does the job nicely Read more

Perfectly serviceable every day knock around/work watch. Works absolutely fine. Chose this for the case diameter. Comfortable to wear as opposed to 40-50 mm watches. Had to replace band for better comfort. Read more

Les aiguilles luminescentes...en plein jour, peut être, mais pas cette nuit. C'est un paramètre important pour moi. Read more

ショップの説明ではムーブメント日本製クオーツでしたが、箱にロンダ製と記されているので、スイス製でしょう。文字盤の蓄光も外周のアラビア数字だけで、長短針は発光しません。最初はガッカリしたのですが、ミリタリーウオッチにしては、控えめな印象で今は一番のお気に入りです。コレクターの方は検討の価値あり。 Read more

I am very pleased and impressed with the Jungle Field. Before actually ordering, I did reach out to Praesidus to ask about some of the observations and experiences others have had with this particular timepiece. Among them were: "The Praesidus website states it uses a Meca-quartz movement. This is not true, it’s a standard 1hz movement that ticks once a second....a bit misleading by Praesidus.". Rachel with the company assured me that the movement is indeed a VH31 Meca featuring a 4 ticks per second as described on their site. I can see that the watch that arrived is not the 1hz one-tick-per-second but is in fact a smooth 4 ticks per second sweep. My next chief concern was that"...The second hand doesn't hit the markers...was hoping that either my copy wouldn't have that issue or I'd get over it eventually. However, after a few weeks of wearing it, it's impossible to ignore and driving me crazy." --- This would drive me absolutely nuts as well. Praesidus did say that a slight misalignment *can* occur due to the nature of quartz movements and that strict quality control minimizes this as much as possible. The warranty DOES cover this so I felt confident moving forward with giving it a go. I can report that mine does hit the marks right on the nose - so no issue here on that account. I will say that the canvas band for my small wrist (6") is kinda long-ish so I'll give some other straps a try - like a Barton or something else. But the watch itself has been fantastic this first week of wear. For me, it reflects the simple, clean, utilitarian look I was seeking for an everyday timepiece. Read more
