This is a very good watch it keeps good time, it water resistant, has many features that you want like stop watch, count down timer. World time zones and many many more.

My husband did a lot of research before buying this and really likes it. It came right away and we have had no problems at all with it.

I was surprised about the thickness of watch when I had it in my hands for the first time. Although the watch sits nicely in your arm. I am happy with the special features of the watch.

Beautiful detailed and accurate time piece. I have a few watches and this is one I place ahead of all the others I have. Large face and can be read at a glance.

Ok let me be honest, never wanted to be a pilot(ok maybe a Blue Angel pilot), don't really care about all the functions on the dial; this watch just looks good! Love it! Reviews of being to big or heavy scared me a bit, not the case. This watch screams quality, I've had several comments on it. Little confusing to set at first, but fine once you get the hang of it. Definitely love the watch for look and quality, backlight is fine when you need it. Very happy with my purchase!

I bought this watch about 7 months ago and had all the issues listed to some degree or anouther but all in all it was still a good watch for the price. That is untill 5 days ago when all the digital functions on the watch quit and then a day later went blank leaving me with a standard watch. But I guess you get what you pay for.

As a field engineer I have to work with tools inside machinery. More often than not I keep my watch and I have had several scratched watches in the past. So I was somewhat skeptical to wear a nice watch like this but the price seemed right to give it a try. After 9 months of using it daily, this watch has still not a single scratch. The quality is very good and it really looks better than on the picture.

After a loooong time, i got my watch. I did read all the reviews about being heavy and too dim. Yes, I agree the digital display is dim. But i can always chek the analog time. Being heavy, i personally feel thats the way it should be. And for the price paid, this watch is really a gud one.

The watch is actually better than it appeared from the photo. One of the few times when I can actually state that something is an even better value than it appeared!

Due to my employment I travel extencively, this time piece has in the short time I have owned it forefilled all the requirements I require of a functional time piece at a very competetive price. I would recommend Pulsar as a manufacture to any body reqiring quality and style. At this moment in time I have 4 Pulsar time pieces that I use on a regular basis, 3 are working /daily use sports watches and I have a dress watch for when I am entertaining / partying. None of these watches have ever let me down, I have them regularly, serviced and new seals every time the batteries are changed, regular diving and swimming trips have never caused any problems. My one slight critisium would be the digital read out on this model is a little pale and could do with slightly altering the contrast, however it remains an excellent time piece - Highly recommended

I bought this watch for my deployment to Iraq as a stand-in for my Breitling B-1. Although there's no real comparison between the two for technology and quality of design and manufacture, I will say that the Pulsar is a reasonable substitue in the more austere conditions of Iraq. It's display is a bit dim as mentioned elsewhere but it is still very readable. The alarm is rather quiet. Other functions work as one would expect and I particularly like the one-time alarm function. It looks good on the wrist and keeps reasonable time. I recommend it, particularly with it's low price.

i am studying pilot for now, i order this watch and i think it is useful to me as the flight computer with me all the time, and i don't just use it when i am in flight but also in the normal life, because it look too luxury watch and i like it too much.

I've had the watch for a week now and I'm very happy with it. Both digital and analog time are exact to the second after a week (checked against Apple network time server). The watch looks good and I can't say I've had a problem with the digital display - if it was brighter I think it would tend to be distracting. The slide rule looks good but I doubt more than 1% of buyers will actually use it. One small negative point I have noticed is that although the hands are luminous the hour markers aren't, which makes things a little tricky in complete darkness - a silly oversight, hence 4 stars. Overall though, well worth the money.

You can pay hundreds more for the same product, but why? This watch has everything th emore expensive brands do, but it costs much less. It is not a cheapy either, it still has the Pulsar durability, and usefulness. Great buy!

This watch is sooo worth buying, because honestly it is a very nice watch, has a bunch of features, and looks hella tight.

it is time your wrists do all the talking. The Pulsar Men's TGFC Watch is here. Saddled with a steel finish and a black dial to match along with a black rubber strap, this buster is heavy. It combines sophistication with a ruggedness which presently only daniel craig displayed in casino royale. Lots of functions available for u if you get accustomed to how to operate that function. has a compass, is a calculator, can tell how much fuel your car would need if the distance remaining is 120 Miles and of course displays time also. analogue and digitally. Can light up in the dark also. Tell you it is a eye-ball stopper. Got some good tones for alarms. can adjust itself to cities and different time zones at the push of a button. So if your choice of a candlelight dinner with your dame is at the top of eiffel tower, this is for you.

it's a nice looking watch has alot of features only if you fly a plane or travel out of the time zone alot, you really can't hear the alarm, you can't see the features it in day light,it has a button the makes it glow for dark areas the only problem you have to hold the button in because once you let go of the button it goes out so if you're setting something you have to hold one button in while pushing another button. and the watch
is very bulky I keep banging it on things because sticks out, I took it to the pawn shop ( not to sell) to see what I can get for it and they wouldn't offer me anything for it they didn't want it but it is a nice looking watch for the price

I picked up this watch around the holidays because it is more sporty than my other watch. So far, I've been wearing it almost every day. The watch face is easy to read and the digital time is a nice added bonus. The backlight feature is very nice as well and is quite useful. Overall, I'm pleased and would purchase another.

Overall the watch is fairly simple to use. However the display is very dull(almost like the battery is about to die). The picture of the watch shown, shows a much brighter display, that is not the case. The Backlight does improve the ability to see the display but it could be brighter as well. This watch retailed for $235.00(maybe priced decreased because of display) and other than the LCD it is a great watch and made of high quality and easy to use.

I should have paid closer attention to the reviews. The digital display is VERY faint. Backlight isn't much better. The analog and digital displays are not synched. Watch looks great but that's it. Will be sending it back.

I purchased this watch because I very much like the digital/analog combination. I frequently use a digital for the stop watch function, for day/date, etc. I have seen and own other combinations where the digital display is just too small to read quickly. I liked the fact that this display is relatively large. Unfortunately, it is not easy to read because it is too faint. This is so even when using the backlight. Since the digital display was so central to my reason for buying it, I decided to send it back.

I liked the look and feel of the watch, but the strap is what irritated me. If not for the strap, the watch is a cool one.

Attractive watch, comfortable, but digital display is too faint, out in daylight digital display difficult to read.

I like this watch. I have really good features like two alarm,chromo setting, two city timing, two digital display one for time other for displaying date/month/day...

It is little bit heavy and I have struck on the edges of wall, bench or table many times as it is little big bigger than wrist watches I used.

Overall Great watch with cool features.

I've owned this watch for about 2 months and think it's great. It's a handsome watch, very stylish, and a great value. It has many useful functions that are easy to use. The dual analog/digital dial is very useful if you travel, as you can set the analog hands to local time and always know the time (and date) back home.

I wanted to comment on two criticisms of this watch that I've read in other reviews on Amazon. First, that it is too big. I agree that it is big, but not "too big". I have an small-to-average-sized wrist, and it doesn't seem big to me -- because I wanted a substantial timepiece. I suggest that you try it on before you buy it, as I did, to make sure you're comfortable with it. Second, that it is hard to read. I agree that the digital time is faint unless it is reflecting a light source, but that is clearly intentional! If it were brighter, it would be even harder to read, as the face would be too busy with the bright white analog hands and the bright digital display. If you want to see the digial display under bad light conditions, all you need to do is to hit the backlight button, and it becomes very easy to read. In any event, the substantial analog hands obscure the digital display by necessity. It seems to me that if you want a digital display as your primary display, this is not the watch for you.

All the good things people mentioned are true. Nice features, digital + analog, gives current time for 71 cities or more. But it's only good to look at this watch in the pictures.. If you don't care a heavy and bulky piece of equipment hanging on your wrist, then probably you could buy it. There are better options for the price I believe. Think again. If you are buying this as a gift for someone else, Then either he is 'big' or you just want to buy 'something' in a hurry. Don't do it.

Hi there,

I love this watch the quality and style is immensely brilliant. I enjoy the overall workmenship although the LCD is somewhat low nevertheless, I can still read the numbers and enjoy the many functions it has to offer. The overall craftmenship I rate highly it does not have that kinda cheap feel you get on an average $85.00 watch this item was a steal (I am still wondering why it was sold under its true retail price of $235.00 but WHO CARES). Shipping was impeccable as specified it came on a timely manor. THANK YOU GUYS!

this watch is totaly unreadable and should be withdrawn from the market.

This is my favorite watch. It looks so much more expensive than it really is. Only problem is that the hourly chime is really low.

edit 10/1/08
I have had this watch serviced 3 times in the past 18 months for battery related problems. Stay Away

The watch is cool, if you like big watch. Works great and the digital analog combination is great.

Maybe I have grown used to using Casio wathces, but I find this watch difficult to use and set. The watch looks good I have been complimented on it, it is hard to use the various features.

I usally like a big sports watch on my hand. Wow.. This is too big and heavy. It has got some good features, but the weight of the watch outweighs the good features.

The band is not at all flexible and it was not strapping around my hand, but was choking my wrist on two sides. Intolerable.

I orginally bought this watch to give to my son who is going away to college to help him get to classes on time. He said his cellphone had a clock already so I kept it for myself. I have a Rolex Datejust with a gold and steel band, an Omega Seamaster with a stainless steeel band, and a Smith & Wesson tactical watch with a black cloth and velcro band. As a resident of Martha's Vineyard I wear the Rolex for business occasions, the Omega for casual occasions, and the Smith & Wesson for swimming (the flat black finish and black band won't attract "predators".) But for fun I wear the Pulsar. My youngest son runs cross country and track so I use the chronometer to time him. As an engineering student who was forced to master the use of the slide rule in the pre-handheld calculator days I use the E6B rule for math, and the rest is just for fun. The reverse LCD black dial accents the hands and yellow markers at the four points of the compass, and the LCD data is easily readable in my office or on the track. I even prefer the rubber strap to steel as it is less flashy (I'd wear the Rolex or Omega for that) and fuses seamlessly with the watch body itself. For $75 plus free shipping it's like they're giving them away.

I just received the watch yesterday and I am returning it today.
It's a very nice watch, very stylish with a substantial feel to it.
One problem, the digital display is quite dim. Even in bright light, it was challenging to read. I thought maybe it was just my vision. However I asked my wife and she had the same problem.
Okay so maybe a middle aged eye sight issue but an issue none-the-less.
I got this for functionality, then looks. I don't consider having to move the watch around for optimal viewing very efficient.
Once again, I wish I didn't have to return, as it surely was a beauty!

This is a great little watch for the price range. As much as I would love to drop $5K+ on a Breitling that does the same thing as this watch, for the price, this watch gives you everything you need and more. Besides, with avgas prices, I'd rather use that extra money for flight time. Anyway, I digress...This is a good solid watch with some hefty weight to it that cries out durability. The most important feature of this watch is the E6-B on the bezel, which is a must-have for any pilot's watch. It took only a little bit of getting used to how the E6-B is arranged on this watch, but it doesn't take much to adapt. The only drawback, if you want to call it that, is where we would be used to seeing times expressed in hours and minutes along the innermost ring, it's absent on this watch. But that's really no big deal. One the goodies in this watch includes having all the world's timezones, whereas with analog pilot's watches you can only have maybe one or two other timezones displayed. I have mine always showing UTC underneith the local time analog hands. It has the chronograph, timer, one alarm, and calendar included. It's not the most expensive watch in the world, and it won't break your budget. I tend to be rather hard on my watches, so having something really durable is a must-have. It IS a big watch, so small-wristers be aware. It's also a HEAVY watch. It's stainless steel casing and everything that's packed into it gives it a good heft, and you can definitely feel the weight on your wrist.
