Great field watch @ great price
All titanium body/case + sapphire crystal + automatic movement + screw-in crown + hack second hand ... all under $350 -- freaking amazing! This is an amazingly priced military/field-style watch that has all quality features you want in a watch without paying 2 or 3 times more (to my mind comes Hamilton black PVD Titanium automatic that's around $650). The design itself is minimalist and pleasing. Due to its titanium case, the watch is also lighter to wear. I measured the accuracy over the last 10 hours and it's about +1 sec per 10 hours or less (actually I have a hard time saying if it gained a second or not). I'd estimate that it will gain 1-2 secs a day which is excellent. The automatic mechanism inside seems to be (Seiko) SII NH35A (according to one of the GWP/Arctos reps) which translates to approximately Seiko 4R35. I'd recommend this watch to everyone who likes minimalist design, military field watch-style, and high quality components. (Personally I like the bund strap, but there are other choices too for people who'd like or prefer a different strap).

Best Experience
Arrived ahead of schedule.Particularly comfortable. I've never had a band like this, that passes under the watch so that leather is always on the skin. That means none of the slipping that happens when the bracelet notches are a half notch too loose or tight.I never wound this watch. Right out of the box, I shook it for two minutes. After that, I wore it for about 12 hours daily, with moderate activity level. True, I developed the habit of wiggling my wrist occasionally. Over two weeks, measuringfrom the same atomic clock source, it gained two minutes in two weeks. Of course, everyone will be different.There was no time change during the 'down time.' No other automatic I've owned has had near the advertised 'reservecapacity.'I can't address shock or water resistance.Thoroughly happy with my purchase.

The best shopping experience that I have ever had with Amazon or elsewhere. The help that I got from GPW to setup the watch and the promptly response from them was unbelievable.The watch is exactly what it looks like from the pictures. I have had the watch for close to one week now and I love it. The material was what I was expecting too!

EXCELLENT IS NOT ENOUGH !!!
This watch is more than a dream !!! If one read the description of this watch, might think that it's an exaggeration, but it's EXACTLY the description of the product. It's so precise,... TO THE TOP SECOND every morning; it's light like a dream and strong like a TANK !!! On its back says : " MILITARY TYPE " and I can over-trust a German product with full confidence. IF YOU FIND IT, BUY IT RIGHT THE WAY !!!

therefore easy to wear with a long-sleeved dress shirt
This is the most accurate timekeeper of four automatic watches that I own, as delivered with no adjustment. The case is not too thick, therefore easy to wear with a long-sleeved dress shirt. The band is soft and comfortable. The face is very attractive and easy to read. Overall a great value.

I can't say enough good things about this watch. Simple, rugged, everything I want and nothing I don't. The size is perfect, wears well on the wrist. Mine runs about 6-7 seconds slow in 24hrs which is pretty darn good for an automatic, let alone an auto in the $300 range. Lume is very strong, lasts all night. Hands are easy to read, what is not to line. Great job on this watch GPW, I am sold on your brand!

My favorite watch.
I like how it winds both manual and automatic. Keeps great time and really lights up at night. I've been working outdoors with it on, and the crystal dome has taken some blows with not issues. Has a screw down hand knob - so I would think it would hold up to minor water exposure as well. Just a great German Watch!
