Review on ⌚ Dakota Watch Company Men's Aluminum Backpacker Clip Watch in Sleek Black: Model 28446 by Tricia Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Has kept perfect time for a year and a half since I .

Special features of this watch: * One and a half years from the date of purchase show the exact time * Does not require constant charging like a mobile phone; it's been running on original batteries for a year and a half now * Works even where there's no cell service (yes, those places still exist and I visit often) * Great for those like me who don't want to wear wristwatches, but who needs them anymore to keep track of time; it's more like a small wearable watch * Attaches to a belt loop, backpack, shoulder bag, handbag, etc. * Easy to attach and detach but secure enough; I've never accidentally loosened it * Doesn't tan my wrist * Waterproof; I haven't personally tested it to 100 feet, but it has endured many real world tests in the rainy climate where I live. * Nice unisex design; doesn't scream "men's watch" when I wear it, but looks quite appropriate for a men's watch when my husband wears it (he doesn't wear a wristwatch either) for fitness or medical reasons *It's analog, not digital, so that's cool! * Numbers glow in the dark after brief exposure to light; saves battery power compared to backlit style. * Large, easy to read numbers * All numbers from 1 to 12 (none of those 12, 3, 6, 9, then do the rest). * Outer ring labeled for every 60 minutes/seconds * Outer ring numbered in fives from 05 to 55 making it easy to keep track of minutes and seconds * A good watch for teaching children analog time with the four functions listed directly above * Since it's analog, you can surprise and amaze your friends by using this clock's hour hand to find true north (many websites have guides on how to do this); I can't do that with a digital watch. I was a bit hesitant to order this watch based on the number of one star reviews but now I'm glad I took a chance with this product. This watch has stood the test of time. I mainly use it around town for everyday use, but I also use it in the country, camping or backpacking and it's durable enough to withstand that kind of use.
