"The case and dial are good. Very easy to read. It’s a thicker case, but you are essentially getting a field watch dial on a divers case. Bezel is aligned. However, as with many quartz, the seconds hand isn’t aligned. It’s about 3/4 the way to the hash marks. Not huge deal, it’s expected. However, the Topo straps are basically worthless. I’m not sure if the designer thought you would wear this watch over a heavy winter coat, but they are twice as long as they need to be and wrap twice around your wrist. It creates massive bulk. Also, the case just sits on a Velcro portion of that strap, so if it ever got unhooked by a branch, etc. it would easily come off. The straps look cool, but that’s about it. They will sit in the drawer while I wear this on a NATO."
