 "Nice Watch, Battery Sucks" | 2009-03-28 |

I got this watch because 1) It is a pulsar, 2) because it looks nice, and 3) because it seemed to have some brains behind the looks. Well, the Pulsar brand has lost some luster because I found this watch to be less than impressive in the brains department, and I have never, ever had a watch with such a poor battery life.
If I knew at the time of purchase how bad the battery was, I would out right not purchase it again. I have about 12 watches, all of which are older than this watch.. all of whom have older batteries than this watch, yet the battery on this watch has died twice. Awesome. |

| I liked this watch as soon as I saw it at Amazon. This is the watch I wear when I go out of town. I've owned lots of watches, Timex, Citizen, Bulova,Invicta and others and the Pulsar is my favorite. I like the light display which is nice to have in a dark theater or other dark places. Also, this watch has single alarm mode and regular alarm mode which is nice to have. The watch has 24 Hrs countdown timer. The Citizen watches I have only have a 60 minute countdown timer. I think the Pulsar easier to set up than the Citizen Navihawk, The Pulsar has a nice feel when I wear it. The Citizen Navihawk and other aviator watches might have reputation but the Pulsar you get more bang for the buck. |

I'm a great fan of chronograph watches because I like the way they look. I don't really know how to use that feature and I dont even care. Having said that... I bought this watch purely based on looks... And I still like the way it looks. Its just that in over an year, I have started to dislike it more than its looks can compensate for.
So here are the things that I hate:
-First and foremost, the battery died on me in about 1 year - which is unacceptable for a watch in this price range.
-The quickest way to tell an expensive watch apart from a cheap look-alike is by looking at the metal strap. While the metal strap here is not exactly flimsy, its not hefty enough too.
-Switching from winter to summer time is more complicated than it should be
To summarize things, I paid $125 for this watch and I don't feel that I got my money's worth. I wouldn't recommend this watch to anyone. Sure it looks great, but there are plenty better looking options out there. |

I bought this thing for the slide rule bevil. You know, for figuring distances to a target.
Trouble is, when I bought it I could see it. Well, I could see it with my cheaters on. Now I can't get the batteries changed, which ain't nuthin to gripe about considering I live in the boonies, and I can't see the bevil with two pairs of cheaters and the bottom of a broke out coke bottle.
I can always blow a smoke screen and say I got the watch for figuing distance for shooting a rifle, but I've had to go to the real big Slide Rule instead.
All seriousness aside...excellent watch! It gets my mark. |

Good: Price!, Features - everything that makes this an aviator watch including what HAD been missing from the Citizen models... a light!
Bad: How simply can I put this... It keeps horrible time. I had to get a new time-hack every week. And annoyingly, the digital seconds never match the sweep hand; True, to most wearers those 10-15 seconds lost/week makes little difference but if you're responsible for time control to the second, you care. (And yes, I tried a new battery) |

Correct and beatiful. Heavy enough (I like heavy watches). The two clock (the digital and the hands) differ about 1 second per day. The analog is more exact: the analog is fast by 3 second, the digital is slow by 18 seconds during a one month period.
I don't only understand one thing: why doesn't each man wear this watch? |
