 Pulsar Men's Alarm Chronograph Watch #PF3287 By: Pulsar Average Rating: 3.0 Total Reviews: 7 More Information Great watch at any price.  On: 2006-02-09I havent worn a watch in years..Im usually very tough on them and they just dont last. When I saw this watch offered at $25 bucks...I figured what the heck. I love it! Ive read the other reviews, and I agree with all the favorable ones for all the right reasons. The time was set when I got it, and its kept exellent time in the month that Ive owned it. Im kindof an atomic clock nut...I have three in my home so I know the time precisely 24/7. This watch is dead on. I see its been offered now for twice the price I paid for it, and thats a bargain in my opinion. Had I come across it today, Id buy it again. Great Looking Watch!!! On: 2006-02-08I found this watch for $24.99 on Amazon and I couldnt resist! it was $185.00 originally and I was so thankful to spot and pick it up. It is a bit on the heavy-side at first, but you get used to the weight. It is not fragile and has a very polished chrome finish. Easy to read with the white face and black dials and keeps time well. The alarm is not super loud if you sleep hard but loud enough to wake up the average joe. For this price, it is a great find. Easy to set the alarm, I dont understand all the complaints in the other reviews, just read the 4 line section on the alarm (10 seconds) and you are off! Not Bad For The Money  On: 2006-01-21I bought this watch as a closeout at Amazon for $25 and with free shipping it was a rare bargain. This is a large heavy watch more suited for a large man with a large wrist. It has no accents and with the white dial it is has a rather plain but rugged appearance. The Japanese quartz chrono movement keeps accurate time as expected. All functions work as advertised. Two negatives I find in the watch is one: that you can only roughly size the band by removing or adding links....it has no fine adjustment at the clasp. Second: it is has a snap-on rather than screw-on backplate and thus only water resistant to 3 atmospheres or 100 feet. I get away taking a shower with it on but I would not recommend bathing or swimming with it on. Pretty Good Watch On: 2006-01-13Well, Ive had a few watches. What I need are an alarm, a stop watch and something that tells me the date and time. This watch does that, and it doesnt look too bad either. It was a bit of a challenge to set, and I did have to take it to a jeweler to adjust the band ($10). But the alarm works and has a nice ping sound which is fairly loud. The stopwatch is a nice feature and easy to use. I give this watch 4 out of 5 because Id like it to be easier to set the alarm, and I would like it to have a timer (countdown), and backlight. Still. It looks good and it does the trick. disappointing  On: 2005-11-29The watch seems to keep time OK, and Im not surprised to have to pay another $10 to have the band resized. But it came as a shock that theres no way to light up the dial and the hands dont seem to hold any sort of luminescence like old style watches. I cant read it in the dark, which is a serious downside. It didn't work! On: 2005-10-24After multiple attempts to set the time (in two places) and the date, the watch failed to keep time; i.e., the hands never moved. I took it to a jeweler and he told me it was a bad unit and to return it. Now I have had to send it back and, so far, still dont know the status of my purchase and my account has not yet been credited for it. I thought the price of the watch was very reasonable, but Id rather pay a little more and get one that works. disappointment  On: 2005-10-11This watch is very heavy. The band required a professional jeweler to resize. The owners booklet is very short and poorly written. If the alarm works I can not hear it, and it apparently must be reset every 12 hours so is worthless for my use. A friend got a watch with a great alarm system at Radio Shack for under $30.Also I believe the amount charged was too much. I am NOT HAPPY! |
