A-1r Field Comfort - Black - Black Comfort-webb

I scoured Amazon to find a replacement for a Wenger watch that fell off my wrist while backpacking. I stumbled upon this Bertucci field watch and was sold. I'm very happy with it. It is just the right size for my wrist (not to large). It's made of quality materials and lightweight. I hardly know that I'm wearing it. It's a keeper!

Wonderful watch at an affordable price.

For the watch itself: It's a compact, lightweight field watch. It doesn't get in your way and I like the smaller case diameter. 4 o'clock crown is nice from a comfort standpoint. Legibility is excellent but the lume is just okay. It's barely adequate in the dark. The case is an interesting reinforced resin which looks like it should be pretty strong. The crystal is mineral glass, but it's a bit soft. It scuffed a little bit after some bumps against desks. The case doesn't really have enough height to protect the crystal. I actually would prefer a harder mineral crystal or an acrylic crystal which is easy to buff out scratches from. Accuracy is fine. Plenty accurate for a standard quartz. It looks like this is running a standard Japanese Miyota quartz movement running off the usual SR626 battery. That means about 2-3 years of battery life. The lack of a date window is a plus for me and I don't miss it at all. I like the fixed lug design, but unfortunately Bertucci went with a 19mm (3/4") nylon strap instead of a more common 18mm or 20mm. The stock strap is good overall, but a bit too thick with a large fabric keeper that sticks out on the bottom of your wrist. The strange strap size reduces the amount of aftermarket straps that you can swap in, unfortunately. It's a perfectly good watch, especially in hot weather where a nylon band and lightweight come in handy. But I don't find myself wearing it that often anymore and I'm not sure I would pick it up if I had to do it all over again. I'd rather go for a cheaper digital or a nicer analog field watch.

very light, very accurate, not luminous very long, i have not pulled the back cover but it looks easy as there is a small area to place something like a heavy guitar pick to pry it off and change the battery. the fixed strap bars are great and facilitate easy strap changes and no chance of loss of the watch. easy to read dial

Stopped working six months

Exactly as represented-light, easy to read dial, sharp looking, long battery life, accurate time kept, good price.

Had it for a 8 months, wore it daily, then I took it off to clean one day and the back came off. Popped it back together and it a week later it again dislocated while on my wrist and water got in. Now it no longer works. Real said because I liked the look.

Item box came highly damaged, when upon open inspection, box had moisture damage, and the internal packaging was a wreck. Watch was still turning but looked as if it had been opened and watch strap had stains on it.
