Dakota Backpacker Clip, Quality Pocket Watch, Fob Nylon Carabiner Strap, Lightweight, Premium Durability Outdoor Gifts for Men, Use for Fishing, Hunting, Golf and More, Tactical Watch

This watch works well, and keeps good time. The hands are easy to read at a glance, with nice contrast between the light hands and dark face. It's also in the correct orientation, meaning that if it's hung by the carabiner from your backpack strap, or your belt loop, and you flip the face up to look at it, you're viewing it normally. Some others are upside down, and only work for others to look at your watch while it's hanging there, which is useless for the owner. The water resistance is nice, because I can leave it on the backpack strap if it rains and not care if it gets a little wet. That also lets me rinse it off after a campout for easy cleaning. The luminous hands glow well. Even at night, 30 seconds with the flashlight, and I can still just make out the time in a dark tent hours later if it's pitch black, and I take a close look when my eyes are already adjusted. Nice to use in the summer heat, or when you're constantly adding bug repellent or sun block to your arms in the summer anyway and don't want to spray your watch crystal or move your wristwatch back and forth to your pocket every time. I'm not sure if it would work well in the winter to avoid having to dig under your gloves, because batteries and watches don't like to be left out unheated and cooled far below freezing and still keep accurate time, but you might clip it under your coat or somewhere it can get some warmth. I've only used mine above freezing so far. Case and movement are pretty tight. The whole thing is nice and solid, no slop, no rattling, no hand movement if shaken, etc. Great value for the price, and cheap enough you won't really worry about in case it ever got some accidental damage.

Tried several similar watches that had belt clips. 2 of the 3 I bought broke within a month or two for some reason. The 3rd is still working now, but is hard to read because of the contrast of the hands and the dial. Decided to just spend the extra money and get a good, brand name watch. It came in a nice box and was packaged good. Has a 5 year warrantee. It is very easy to read, is well built and looks great. I think I made the right decision. That last Dakota watch I had (a similar one) lasted over 5 years before it stopped working. If I can get 5 years out of this one, I'll be happy! Would recommend this.

Nice watch

Outstanding features of this watch: * Has kept perfect time in the year and a half since I bought it * Doesn't need recharging all the time like a cell phone; it's been running off the original batteries for a year and a half * Works where there's no cell phone service (yes, those places still exist and I visit them frequently) * Great for those like myself who dislike wearing a wristwatch, but who still need to keep track of the time; it's more like a small, portable clock * Clips onto belt loop, backpack, messenger bag, cross-body bag, purse, etc. * Easy to clip and unclip, but quite secure; I have never had it unclip itselt accidentally * Doesn't give you a tan line on your wrist * Water-resistant; I haven't personally tested to 100 feet, but it has gotten a lot of real-life testing in the rainy climate where I live * Nice unisex design; doesn't scream "man's watch" when I use it, but looks totally appropriate for a man's watch when my husband borrows it (he won't wear a wristwatch, either) * Has second hand, so can be used for checking heart rate (pulse) for fitness or medical reasons * It's analog, not digital, so it's old-school cool! * Numerals glow in the dark after brief exposure to light; saves battery life over a back-lit style. * Large, easy to read numerals * All the numerals 1-12 (none of this 12, 3, 6, 9, then figure out the rest). * Outer ring with markings for all 60 minutes/seconds * Outer ring numbered by fives from 05 to 55, which makes keeping track of minutes and seconds easier * Good watch for teaching children to tell analog time because of the four features listed directly above * Because it is analog, you can amaze and astound your friends by using the hour hand on this watch to find true north (numerous websites have instructions on how to do this); can't do that with a digital watch I was a little hesitant to order this watch because of the number of one star reviews, but now I'm glad I took a chance with this product. This watch has worked out well for me. I use it mostly in town for everyday use, but I also use it in the back country when camping or backpacking, and it has been rugged enough to stand up to that kind of use.

This is a Christmas gift for my husband but it looks sturdy and I like the canvas loop because I can always replace the hook if it breaks - he is hard on things and we may need to do that sooner rather than later. It came in an interesting waterproof plastic container that can be used to house a phone, this watch, and maybe a lighter and it has a belt loop hook to be used in camping or hiking. Nice extra although he probably won't use it, my father may be able to use it on his boat.

JUNK I bought this watch but I was out-of-country at the time. I arrived home two months later and began using the watch. After a few days the second hand fell off and the watch stopped working. Amazon refuses to rectify the problem because of the time line. Now Amazon has a very disappointed customer…actually, a very pissed off customer.

It's good and worth the money.

Excellent pocket watch. clipped onto leather belt leather belt strap makes it lomng enough to really go into pocket. Use it daily as apposed to wrist watch.

While i appreciate the craftmanship, especially given the relatively low price, i did not keep this watch. The hands were pale green on a pale yellow background, making it hard for my old eyes to see properly. My much older Swiss Army pocket watch is very easy to read, and that's what I'm using now.

Excellent produit, la photos ne lui rend pas honneur ! Livré dans une boîte carton au arme de Dakota, cette dernière protége une boîte métallique à volet transparent présentant la montre dans son écrins ! Cette dernière est belle, mais surtout le crochet et la bande ne sont pas des pièces rapportées à la vas vite (ma crainte lors de l'achat) mais bien des éléments créés pour cette montre et en parfaite harmonie avec! Le chiffrage est dans le bon sens, et est clair ! Une belle pièce!

I needed something I could clip to my carrier, whether it was for when I was kayaking or recumbent triking. It's easy to see and read. It's a "nurse's" style, upside down, because of the way it's normally used - you would normally look down to read it. Water resistant to far deeper than I ever intend to go. (My previous similar watch, different brand, stopped working after a season. Though I replaced the battery, the movement wouldn't move, though the demand light would. I hope this one won't have that problem.)
