PRAESIDUSA-11 Spec 2 Vintage Military Field Watch, 32mm or 42mm Stainless Steel Case with Leather/Canvas/Nylon Strap, Men's Tactical Wrist Watch Suitable for Work and Outdoor Use with 2-Year Warranty

The media could not be loaded. I haven't had a watch in years...but I'm tired of fishing for my phone when I want the time. I've ordered and returned 4 watches lately and I just couldn't find the right one. My first impression is...I LOVE IT !!! The 32 mm size is still classic and not oversized for a woman's wrist IMO... it suits my mountain mama boho hippie girl style...being kinda tomboyish and feminine at the same time. I love quality and this watch looks and feels like it's worth the price .

Nice looking, but does not last or hold up well. Dropped on the floor once and the hands all came loose. Very disappointed, will never purchase this brand again.

I've had this watch for a little over a week. This watch is the 32mm size with a quartz movement. I know that many will not care for the diminutive size of this watch. I'm a not really small guy, but my wrists are rather small. When wearing a watch over 38mm I feel somewhat like I have a hubcap on my wrist. The watch and leather strap are very comfortable. The black and white face is very legible; easy to read. When I received the watch I used the website time.gov to set the watch and it has neither gained nor lost a second since then. I like that the size is that of the original GI watches from WWII; sort of a nostalgia thing for me, because when I was a kid most men were wearing watches of about this size. A big plus for me is that the quartz movement is American made--Ameriquartz from a company in or near Phoenix, AZ.

The media could not be loaded. As far as a new replica Military A11 watch from the 1940’s, it is aesthetically very nice. Although, they brag that the “Ameriquartz 6130 movement hits each mark dead on.” This is not the case. When the second hand intermittently clicks on each second, not one matches exactly on the “Railroad” tick marks around the bezel. Even the 12 is slightly passed the straight up mark of the 12. See attached photo and video. The minute hand seems to progress on the tick marks, but the claim of a “dead on” seconds movement is not exactly so.

I’m a timex guy. Well, a cheap watch guy and timex just happens to be the cheap brand that usually has closest to what I’m looking for. That being said, I wanted new every day watch and I wanted a minimalist/vintage look.Pictured is a timex expedition that says it’s a 39mm. I think it’s more like 37 or 38 max. The timex weekender is a 38mm case and feels big to me. I wanted something smaller. Ideally would have loved a 34-ish size, but I really liked the looks and simplicity of this A-11 32mm. I realize this company also makes a 34mm model in a slightly different style, and to be honest I like this one so much I might buy that jungle edition to keep as a backup. The double dome glass makes all the difference.I tried a citizen field watch and hated it compared to this little thing. I hated the flatness of it. And it felt a lot bigger than either of my old noisy timex pieces. I don’t need a giant piece of metal on my wrist for everyone else to admire. I want something small and indiscreet that doesn’t get in my way and tells me the time. This thing is perfect. Only problem now is I like it so much I’m half scared to turn it into my daily, go everywhere, do anything watch.

I originally purchased a 40mm version of this watch and had some irregularities with the timekeeping. Praesidus reached out to me to rectify the problem and I have since gotten a replacement in 32mm. I must say that I received an excellent time piece. It keeps time very well and the strap is actually sized well for my wrist (not to common with any watch company these days, the straps are typically too long). Lume is on par with a Seiko 5. If you are looking to buy this watch for yourself or as a gift you can't go wrong because Praesidus will take care of their customers.

Definite mixed feelings on this watch. On one side, it's a pretty accurate replica of the A-11 military watch, made in the original 32mm. Solid quartz movement. With the domed crystal and simple face, it looks, for lack of a better way of putting it, vintage. And it does so in a way that other small field watches don't. The big difference to the original is the hands, which aren't accurate.The downsides. First, it's one thing to be 32mm, my default kicking-around watch is the 31mm women's weekender, but this watch is extremely thin and has a very small bezel, and it wears really really small even compared to my other 31-32mm watches and disappears on my wrist. The other apsect is the canvas strap is, to be really blunt, cheap, and not in the "you're in the army now" sort of way. It's fabric, quick release bars, but the downfall is that it has what seems to be a plastic backing, and it just feels not up to the level of the watch.

I like the look. Battery replacement is terrible. I have bought watch tools but none will unscrew the back. I cannot believe you have to pay a jeweler to replace battery. I would NOT recommend anyone to buy this brand of watch .
