<\div> A flash of color versus clean steel makes the Swiss Military Hanowa Men's Sealander 316L Stainless Steel Orange Dial Watch rather the eye-grabbing timepiece. Sturdy stainless steel makes up the huge case, featuring a dark gray bezel marked with thick orange lines and Arabic numerals at fifteen minute intervals. The orange dial hosts thick black-lined hour and minute hands ticking above a black subdial featuring the seconds in white lines and numerals. Pale green lines sit just under blocky black Arabic numbers at each hour mark, while the red and gray Swiss Military cross appears for the 12 o'clock. A little calendar display near the three o'clock hour gives the date. The green inside both hands and the lines gives a soft glow in the dark, permitting you to tell the time no matter of where you and your watch are. The band comprises of tightly linked steel pieces for a close fit and smooth feel, closing with a fold-over push-button clasp. Water immune up to 660 feet (200 meters), this bold timepiece boasts the reliability of Swiss quartz movement.

A solid watch for the price.
By 19th Green
I necessitated a semi-waterproof watch for work because I wash my hands approximately 40-50 times a rotation. It was likewise important to have a watch that may stand up to bleach and other antimicrobials. This watch fits the bill. I own watches from Tag Heuer, Victorinox, and Raymond Weil(my wife does not want me wearing them to work since she purchased them). Before the Sealander I wore an old Suunto watch to work which looks dated.

Pros: it has yet to lose time. Water has not been an issue (I have only had this watch for a few weeks). It is "chunky", heavy, and has a very bright colored face. The crown screws tight to keep water out of the case. The motion is Swiss. The luminescence is only rivaled by my Tag Searacer. The look of the sub-dial second hand is beauteous cool.

Cons: the bracelet does not feel like it is solid stainless steel but hollow (it is lighter then a good deal of other bracelets). The clasp has opened sans assistance. The date is very small. I have been spoiled with sapphire crystals as this solid homogeneous inorgani substance one has a very small, unnoticeable to most, scratch.

I would commend the Hanowa Sealander for any individual looking for a solid stylish watch at a outstanding deal. I have also purchased the green Sealander.

Update-- Still working great and keeping precise time. Water has not been a problem. The bracelet has exceeded my expected values as it has not gotten scratched or dinged. I may of been a little too critical of the clasp as it has not opened by itself since my original post. I have hit the solid homogeneous inorgani substance crystal a lot of times without chipping or noticeable scratching. This watch remains a steal for the price.

Side note-- re: the review in which they awarded only one star because of water damage. I bet they did not altogether screw in the crown.

Another Update 8/14/11-- My watch quit working the other day. Thinking it was the battery I took it to my local jeweler. The battery was not dead but a piece in the motion had broken. He was capable to fix it at a cost of $130.00.Fluke or flaw? He was not competent to tell me. Hopefully just a fluke.....

Bad quality
By Mac Aladdin
I got this watch for my Dad for his birthday. After a few months he took a shower with it on, and the watch got water in it - even even though it is supposed to be water resistant. I called the company for service, so we will see how that goes.
