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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent choice for avoiding the wristwatch *by on Reviewed in the United States August 14, 2011* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product with one caveat *by on Reviewed in the United States June 28, 2026* This product is fantastic and well thought out! The orientation of the timepiece relative ro the way it clips makes it easy to lift and do a time check. The carabiner clip is quick to use and doesn't snag if you attempt to remove the timepiece, and its small and lightweight making it easy to sw, carry, and adding only grams to a pack load. It's able to handle direct exposure to a PNW rain storm while being exposed to the elements without water ingress. Not sure how it'll take to a submerged scenario but for the hike this is perfect for all weather. The price is a little tough to bare but it brings immense amounts of value for what you pay.This is almost a 5-star product, what keeps it from the final star is the dial face. Fully submersible dive rated watched can be had for cheaper that offer the option to rotate the external ring to monitor time from a set start regardless of clock time. This timepiece has the look but not the functionality. Knowing that divers are setting the 0 time to the minute hand to monitor air usage, a hiker could set the 0 time to the hour hand and track when they started and finished. This would be helpful to know pace on trail and seems like a complete miss to have a strict styling feature only. Please either update the timepiece to include a rotating dial or remove it and design a different look so users don't expect a rotating dial.Even with this I'd still recommend anyone to get this if theyre interested in time management on trail regardless of sleeve length or clothing layers interfering with a wristwatch option. I still have a smartwatch I wear that's covered and inconvenient to get to when layered with gloves, long sleeves, and trekking poles, this solves the requirement to get a quick time check no matter what. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dakota Backpacker Clip, Fob and Pocket Watch, Nylon Carabiner Strap, Lightweight, Outdoor Gifts for Men and Women, Use for Fishing, Hunting, Golf and More, Tactical Watch - Dakota Microlight Clip, Fob and Pocket Watch, Outdoor Gifts for Men and Women, Use for Fishing Hunting, and More, LED Flashlight, Clip on Watch - Dakota Leather Field Clip, Clip Watch, Leather Fob Strap, Lightweight Dress Pocket Watch, Outdoor Gifts for Men and Women, Use for Fishing, Golf and More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/713039-dakota-aluminum-analog-backpacker-pocket-watch-military-dial](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/713039-dakota-aluminum-analog-backpacker-pocket-watch-military-dial) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-10-10*
