 Momentum M1 Men's Steel Bracelet Watch #1M-DV00U0 By: Momentum Average Rating: 5.0 Total Reviews: 2 More Information Impressive & 5 stars in this price range  On: 2007-10-24I bought this watch instead of a Seiko Diver and am very happy with it. In my mind the Japanese quartz movement wins out over the inexpensive automatic movement in the Seiko for accuracy. The nearest competitor might be an Orient automatic diver (Orient is a Japanese watch company partly owned by Seiko). St. Moritz started out making Momentum watches specifically for the diver market. They are very popular among people in the industry, and the watches are also very stylish out of the water. They dont simply copy established watch designs. The watch has a very nice weight, a solid link bracelet and a smoothly operating bezel with a screw down crown. The overall size is closer to a Rolex than a large Seiko diver, which I think looks better on the arm. At this price point, you wont be disappointed! Great Diver's Watch On: 2007-07-23I love this watch! I looked around for a good dive watch that wouldnt break the bank, and was introduced to the M1 at my local dive center. I opted for the rubber strap, which is long enough to fit on your forearm even over 7mm wetsuits. The face of the watch is simple, elegant, uncluttered and easy to read under water. The dials provide the right amount of contrast and are highly luminous even in low-visibility conditions. With the stainless steel strap, this watch looks like it just as easily belongs in a boardroom as it does on a boat. After having owned this watch for almost two years, I can see just a slight indication of wear on the bezel surface, which isnt bad considering how much my watch has bumped against scuba cylinders, lead weights, boat railings and the occasional concrete wall. |
