Heavy Water Diver Blacktie White GMT

This is a big watch at 50mm, a little too big, 46 or 47mm would suffice for my 7.5" wrist. Because of the ample size it tends to look like a costume watch that didn't cost $750, otherwise it looks good and serves its function well. It still looks ultra utilitarian and that's what I was going for, the numbers are huge and clear and unlike the Breitling you see in the background it is faster to look at your wrist to tell time with the Hazard than glance at your phone. The GMT feature is useful if set to the same timezone so you can tell time in 24hr mode quickly. The watch is very light so you don't notice the hulking disk on your arm at all compared to watches that are 10 times the price. This is a great 2nd or 3rd watch and a good addition to any man-jewelry collection. I think I'll get the titanium bracelet that goes with it, hopefully it has the same bead blasted finish as the case and it makes it look more like what I paid for it. So, if you need a big, burly dive watch in your collection then this is a good one that you won't see others wearing. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good and worth the money so far, and at $750 it's still considered value priced for some crazy reason- I blame Switzerland.

Setting the date on this watch lasted a week, and this seller hasn’t responded to my request to remedy this. I wouldn’t buy this watch or from this seller. For a 1k watch, I’d expect it to last more than a week.

Weight is similar to a slim profile watch, absolute feather compared to other large case divers.Based on other reviews I was concerned about adequate brightness. My bar for lume is it needs to read before the face becomes unreadable in low light, Heavy Water Diver does this. The lume is very balanced, functional, always present, requires no charge, not beacon bright for 30 secs and black after 20 minutes.If you want a light show look elsewhere. Balanced and always usable, this is it.(Image is un-tampered from iPhone and is brighter than naked eye).

Very good build quality and very attractive looking watch. I can see why so many military, police, and sports enthusiast use this watch. The problem is that the main reason for buying this watch was being able to see the illumination in low light. In this case this watch failed my expectation miserably. In low to no light the watch indicators were barely visible. For this reason I cannot justify spending over $750 for this watch.
