Dakota Analog Mini Cage Clip Pocket Watch with LED Flashlight

I always wanted a nice and unique watch that is both functional and stylish, but at the same time rugged and resistant to elements. This particular Dakota Mini Clip Watch delivers the performance I wanted. Not too big, not too small, it is just the right size, and once I loop and secure it, I can carry it without fear of losing it. It looks good and functions in any weather and in any environment. I found it perfect for hiking trips, as well as office work. This unisex watch is simply perfect. I highly recommend this product because it serves me well. Buy it, you will not regret this purchase!

This is a great little watch most men’s blue jeans have a little watch pocket just above the right front pocket fits perfectly in there and clips to your belt loop. The red light truly works because most animals for instance, my dog dock, cannot see the red light. The red light is very bright, but don’t ride it with your finger on the light too much or you will run down the battery. Mine seem to have a hesitation about keeping perfect time the first couple of days, but I don’t know what it was after that. It hasn’t missed a minute. Go ahead and take out the extend extended protection plan. Just make sure you let a professional change the battery for you. That way they can ensure that the rubber gasket is put back into place as this watch is somewhat splash proof from water or rain. Great value happy I found it on Amazon.

This is a durable watch! My husband has had his for years and it still works-but over the years it has gotten dinged up, so I got him a shiny, new one. Great product- that’s why I bought another one! Thanks!

This is a really cool “time piece ”. Bought it as a gift for my husband who can’t wear a watch anymore due to bruising and who fails to keep his phone in his pocket. This is nice looking and clips on his belt/belt loop. He’s too young to have an old timey pocket watch! He loves it!

I much prefer wearing this type of watch to wearing a wrist watch. I am very satisfied with the quality and have been wearing this type of Dakota watch for years.

For better or worse, this item is heavy. It feels solid, though it of course adds weight to the day pack to which I clipped it during a recent trip. That it is as heavy as it is means that I have to be careful which surfaces I place my bag on and I need to be careful to set the bag down rather gently, more so than I would normally do (although I am not a careless person usually). It is easy to see the numbers by tilting it a bit while it is hanging on my day pack; that is, it does not take much effort to read because the dial is sufficiently large that it can be glanced at and that does the trick. So that was helpful when we wanted to see the clock face quickly while out and about. The quality is such that I can leave it clipped to my work bag when I go to work; it looks good. I thought the clock hands were supposed to glow in the dark. If that is the case, mine doesn't glow in the dark. There is a small red light that can be activated by pushing a button. I have only been using this for a couple weeks so I am not able to comment on the durability. Given the price of the item, it would have to last quite a while to make it worthwhile. I took a chance because I couldn't find any other clip-on timepieces in my price range that looked good enough that I thought I could leave it clipped to my bag while I was at a conference. Will make updates if there are any issues with durability.

This design is used for corporate gifts. My original version from IBM had their logo in the oval area which has Dakota on the one that I am rating. I was glad to find this Dakota version as my experience with my original has been very good. If it lasts as long as my original, it is well worth the price. I decided it was time for a new one when after many years of daily use, the second hand finally fell off my original. So far this new Dakota is working out fine. It keeps good time and is easy to read. With a watch that clips to your side belt loop it is easy to scratch the crystal. Also, the red LED clear plastic bubble lens can break as a result of normal wear and tear over time. If this happens, the LED should continue to operate, but you may need to dress the remaining plastic portion with a file or sand paper should there be any sharp plastic edges on the LED. Concerning the crystal, if you want to keep it from getting scratched, I have found that if you put a screen plastic protector film over it, it will last forever. Use a circle template that matches the exposed diameter of the crystal and draw a circle with a fine permanent marker on the film and cut out the circle with scissors. Try to find a screen protector film that is not too stiff so that it will flex over the slightly convex surface of the crystal. Over time the screen protector will get scratched and dull looking. Just peel and replace with a new one and the watch will look brand new. The plastic film used to cover the front end of cars works well for this. Also, if you want to preserve the watch cover plate on the back of the watch, you can apply screen protector film on that as well. (Note: The watch comes with a larger diameter plastic film cover, but this film does not stick well, so if you want to protect the crystal you will have to make your own as described above.)

I have been using Dakota watches for ten years. The first one I bought, the strap fell off because the pin got bent. I figured it was my fault so I bought this one since it is one piece. That one lasted a while so when it got wore out I bought a new one. The new one just FELL APART on me and I have not been rough with it. It was in great condition aside from scratches on the clip mechanism. Apparently I got lucky with the second watch. I contacted the company and they don't offer any warranty for the actual watch (only internal movement) and said I could pay them to fix the watch. I am not going to pay someone to fix a defective product that they sold me. I will never buy a Dakota watch again! Update 10-25-2024 They sent me a message and offered me a new watch. Your customer service could have looked into my case and offered me a new watch. They didn't. You should have a warranty on your watches falling apart. I have suggested this brand to a lot of people and people at my work have even made jokes imitating me checking the time from my belt loop. For belt loop watch shoppers... if you have a bunch of money and you want a nice belt loop watch get this one. But I don't have a bunch of money to spare. I also don't want a free watch.

I bought my first Dakota mini clip watch a few years ago and used it with all my bags as I went out and about. When it finally broke it wasn't easy to find a replacement in the UK, so I was delighted to see Amazon had them back in stock. My ordered mini clip arrived quickly and is just as good as my previous one. They are easy to unclip and the watch face is clear to read. Happy with purchase.

Very nice product.

I was super excited about this clip watch. However it has stopped working. Took it to a jewellers, thinking the battery needed changing. Jewellers say it is a mechanism fault and cannot be repaired. Why did you choose this product over others?: I thought it as a quality well made watch...but I was wrong.

schön gearbeitete Uhr. Empfehlenswert

This clip watch is just perfect. Solid and the clip is sturdy. And the packaging and instructions are very well presented.
