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

A well made pocket watch with a history of good watches. I like that I can position it so I can keep track of my time when giving a lecture or other timed activities in the office, etc. These watches are built to last.

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.

I got this watch in 2019 to use for ski patrol (need a second hand for taking patient vitals) and backpacking. I think I replaced the battery once or maybe twice during that time. The watch worked great until last week when it got smashed between my pack and my shovel resulting in the glass face getting smashed. FYI it still works but is very difficult to read. I gave it 4 stars only because the carabiner that comes with it is kind of weak and I replaced it with something better after the first use. I will be purchasing another of the same watch to replace this one.

So far I've tried this product at -4F and it tells me the accurate time. This product is my third brand in past two years, and I can recommend this over the others.

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.

Failed under light stress. Lasted less than 4 months, NOT for the sports person!!! Used by a Senior Citizen as a clipon watch for their cross body bag. The face crystal of this watch fell off after 3 1/2 months of gentle use. Disappointing and definately not durable. It was significantly lighter than most, the clip and the nylon webbing were nice. Might be temped to try again, but not for the price of $55 - $60.

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.

I've spent hours searching the internet for carabiner watches, there's a limited variety available anywhere, and this is literally the only one I liked the aesthetics of. So in all of the internet there is exactly one product that works for me, and fortunately it has also functioned very well! I bought one about 3 years ago. I've accidentally smacked it into many things, about a year into owning it I got a big gash on the front glass, but it still worked fine. About 2 years in the carabiner stopped closing all the way (probably because I fiddle with it when I'm bored), but it still closed enough, so I kept using it. After 3 years the watch stopped working, however I'd been hard on it, so no hard feelings. I just bought another one and it's looking good. I've received several compliments from strangers on it.

使いやすい。

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.)

I like it a lot,, great not having something on your wrist when walking or playing golf, very easy to read and no more white wrist band from the suntan.
