Reviews & Ratings for ProTek Carbon USMC Dive Watch — 2 reviews — Page 1

Usually it takes me a couple months at least to provide a honest review after try the product out, it’s been over a couple months of daily wearing it and after the rubber band settle it’s perfect. At the beginning it was a little rough but now is comfortable for daily use. The mechanism is great and keep the timing very accurately, the tritium hour marker are as designed, bright and steady luminosity. My final thoughts… is a really impressive watch, the quality material are top notch and the price is amazing for what you are getting.

Being a Marine, long retired, I got hooked in by the USMC on the dial face and the well done EGA on the case back. Mine is a quartz movement. A little over $300 at OP I thought was a good deal. But for the watch, it is not! It is much smaller than it appears in the ad, more for a female wrist. The strap is awful. Very light weight and doesn't look like it will hold up to mid level activity, let alone combat operational environment. To be fair, I haven't put this through it's paces, but first impression is that it's weak. The lume is very faint. In low light situations, where there is ambient light, very hard to see. In no light environments you can see the lume, but still faint. In night diving conditions this might be a real problem. I haven't taken it diving yet, so I don't know how it will hold up, but I'm not very confident. As indicated it is 42mm case dia, but it's more like a 40. At 45mm this would be better. The watch is light weight, but what it gives up in heft leaves much to be desired. Compared to my G-Shock GD 100B ($80), it really isn't a great deal.
