Traser Commander Military Titanium Watch P6506 Review

Traser Commander Military Titanium Watch P6506

This is simply the best, most functional watch I own. I own a couple of "jewelry" type watches, but for the most part, this is the watch I wear day-in and day-out. I have taken the watch diving, into sub-zero temps, alpine environments, and extreme heat. It gets pounded on rocks when climbing; it's been buried in the snow for hours, and it has never missed a beat. I have had this watch about five years, and I use it all day, every day.
My P6506 is slightly different than the picture in that it has military time printed under the main numbers (i.e. there is a small 13 under the 1, a 14 under the 2, etc.). Also, the "traser" is not printed on the dial. Otherwise, this is the same watch: sapphire crystal, titanium case, and carbon fiber bezel make this a lightweight watch that is also tough. It is a quartz movement, so it keeps accurate time, and never really needs to be adjusted. I move time zones a lot, so I am constantly changing the time, but for a non-atomic watch it's accurate.
After five years of hard use, the bezel has started to wear a bit at the edges, and the case has a few scratches. The crystal is perfectly clear, as it is very difficult to scratch sapphire with anything but sapphire or a diamond. I have changed the band a few times, but it takes a standard 22mm band, so it's easy to find them at Walmart or watch store.
Of course, the draw of this watch over others is that the hands and dots glow extremely bright. I find that most watches are useless after several hours in the dark. When you have 12 or more hours of darkness during winter camping, most watches won't let you see the time without a flashlight. This watch glows bright and does not need recharging like other forms of hand and dial illumination.
Overall, this is a great watch and well worth the money. It's it's too pricey, try one of the cheaper trasers. You can get a steel case and mineral coated glass for much less.

Casio Men's PAS410B-5V Pathfinder Moon Phase Hunting Timer Watch Review

I bought this watch for one reason: to wake me up in the morning -- but without waking my wife at the same time. I avoid the usual alarms that sound off -- I want a "private" alarm that wakes only me. This vibrating watch does this perfectly. It has at least 4 alarms, and I use 3 to wake me in 10 minute intervals, to be sure I come awake. Once you know the sequence of buttons to push, it's easy to set the alarm and to turn them off (for example, at the weekend, when I sleep later). The construction is good, the backlighting is good, and the strap is very strong and easy to fasten (with Velcro). I don't use this for "hunting," which is the purpose given to this watch -- there are all kinds of other functions avauilable that I don't use. But for my purposes, it is perfect.

This Casio moon phase hunting watch is the perfect outdoorsman timepiece, with a stylish design well suited for woods, lake or city wear. In addition to the automatic time, day, month and date displays, this convenient digital watch also indicates the best times to hunt based on the moon's phase, latitude and longitude. The watch displays the moon's age, phase and time, as well as sunrise and sunset information, for the current or designated day. A handy vibration alert can be used with the daily alarm, hourly time signal, or hunting timer so as not to disturb the quiet. The watch also offers a time memo, a 1/100 second stopwatch, and five daily alarm settings. An automatic electro-luminescent backlight with afterglow makes the display easy to read at any time, and the water-ready nylon band comes with a buckle clasp. The case is made from a durable polyurethane resin, and the watch is water resistant up to 330 feet (100 meters). This watch offers a battery life of approximately five years.
