Review on πŸ”¦ Antique Silver Dakota Microlight Flashlight by George Sullivan

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not a happy camper anymore

I live in Florida and spend a lot of time gardening. I was tired of drying or replacing sweat-stained watch straps that were irritating my skin. Since I don't wear plastic or metal watch straps, I looked for an alternative. I didn't know this style of watch existed until I looked it up on the Revain website. I took a gamble that this watch would meet my needs and they did just that. I attached it to one of my belt loops and it works great. No more hassle with a watch strap or skin irritation on your wrist. Also, it is easy and quick to put on and take off. This is a solid watch construction and appears to be of excellent quality. Let's hope it shows up within a reasonable amount of time. After all, it's a unique looking watch with finishes that make it look like an expensive watch. Every time I look at them, I feel like a train attendant. To update. It's only been a year since I bought this watch and the backlight has stopped working. I've never used the lighting feature, but once or twice to make sure it's working well. The black trim strip on the clip has also come loose. However, the watch still shows the correct time. Totally unexpected and disappointing experience. I would change my five star rating to four (still love the watch) if the Revain system would let me. I will update again if there are significant changes. Update 2: It's been a little over a year and the clock is working again. It probably needs a new battery. The manufacturer's instructions say to send it in and they'll replace the battery for $15. Not worth the $15 plus another $10 for shipping as the total cost of buying the watch was around $40. The title of my original review was Happy Camper. It's not like that anymore. MY original five star rating is now two stars (the Revain system now allows you to do this). Sorry Revain customers, but my initial review was overly enthusiastic. I do not recommend buying this watch. Update 3: You will all think that I blew up the hull plate, but suddenly the light started working. I give up. This will be my last review update.
