Great alternative to Seiko Speedtimer
This Tactical Frog solar panda style chronograph is a great watch at literally one third the price of the Seiko solar Speedtimer. Shipping from Amazon was super fast and the watch arrived very safely packaged. It comes in a really cool molded plastic box lined with egg-crate foam and included the watch, warranty card, instruction manual, and a nice screwdriver for removing links from the watch band. The watch itself was very well wrapped in both film and bubble wrap, so when I unpacked it the condition was perfect. I was easily able to size the watch band and get a perfect fit for my 6.75" wrist. The watch has a nice weight to it and does not feel cheap at all. The watch band is well made and does not rattle. The back side of the watch case has nice engravings. All functions of the watch work perfectly, and since this watch uses a Seiko quartz movement I expect that it will continue to operate with no problems. I have noticed that the pusher which starts/stops the chronograph function feels a little mushy while the reset pusher seems to have a more positive click to it. However, both pushers work just fine and do what they're supposed to do. The screw down crown is a nice size and feels very solid during use. The watch is rated for 200M/660ft water resistance which I will not be testing, but it's nice to know that if I were to take it for a casual swim I should have no worries as long as I have done my due diligence and made sure that the crown and pushers are all properly screwed down. The only two negatives I would mention (and neither of these were deal breakers for me) are: 1) The date window is very small and sometimes can be difficult to read if you're not in good direct light. If it were up to me I would prefer that the date window not even be there as that would give the watch face an even cleaner look. Besides, I can always look at my phone if I really need to check the date.2) The lume on the hands and hour indices is not the best; it is neither bright nor does it last long. But let's be honest, you're not going to get top quality lume on a watch at this price point. For me personally this doesn't matter as again I can look at my phone if I need to check the time while in the dark. In conclusion, I love this watch. It looks great, feels good on my wrist, and functions well. I don't think you can go wrong with this one and give it my wholehearted recommendation.

Fantastic Frog!
Watch is a great bargain for the price, sapphire crystal, solar powered, Japanese movement. Bracelet uses screws instead of pins for easy adjustment and fitting. Plenty of micro adjustments also. It was packaged very well and delivered promptly.

Minor Flaws
Some cons: the bracelet is not wellFinished and has someScratchy links and clasp edges. The date window is more or less unreadable . The lume on the dial is nearly useless. Some of the markings on the tachometer bezel have rubbed off in a month . My chronograph model cameWith instructions for a three hand automatic watch.Positives: dial Looks great and catches light really well. Movement is solid and reliable. Like having screw down crown and pushers and the water resistance. Chronograph worksSmoothly and accurately. Mine cameWith a spare NATO strap and toolsTo change strap, and also aScrewdriver for bracelet adjustments

Fantastic Timepiece!
Read the reviews and thought that they were too good to be true, but honestly this is a very solid watch:- It has great movement (ticks right on the markers)- Flawless craftsmanship on the dial, with fully detailed markers and complications- Screw down crown and pusher protectors are smooth & solid- The stopwatch function runs perfectly and resets with smooth sweep motion- The bracelet seems like it has solid links, because it feels very sturdy- Bracelet size adjustment uses screw-in links (versus push rods or collar pins), and includes a very nice jeweler's screwdriver- The band also has an extender at the clasp to allow for summer expansion or to wear over a sweater- Ceramic bezel insert and sapphire crystalit is classified as a 41mm but it wears slightly larger - almost like a 42mm. I have a 7.5 inch wrist and it frames it perfectly.At the this price point you have to get it - I guarantee that you won't regret the impulse buy!

Can't afford a Daytona? Well now you don't have to care!
This is a great watch at a great price.Yeah, under close scrutiny it's not going to fool anyone that you have a Rolex, but the casual observer may think differently and if they do ask for a closer look, you won't have to be embarrassed and can proudly say that you are wearing a 'Tactical Frog'.If I saw someone wearing one of these I would have much more respect for them than someone who was wearing a 'Super Clone' Rolex.

Nice watch for the price, but…
The first watch I received was very nice, and was exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, the tachymeter bezel was rotated about 90 degrees out of proper orientation. The bracelet had scratches on it, and the protective film had been removed from the watch. I ordered an exchange and the replacement was in worse condition than the first one I received, so I am returning it for a refund. Both watches I received had obviously already been returned by previous customers, and were shipped to me without inspecting them before shipping them out to a new customer. If the watch I received had been in new condition it would have been an excellent value.

Beautiful and well built.
The Tactical Frog chronograph is a solidly built watch that looks and feels a lot more expensive than it is.The bracelet has solid links which can be easily removed (with a provided screwdriver) to easily adjust its length.The case is very well finished all around, and the bracelet matches its finish perfectly.The screw in pushers and crown look great and feel solid. The chronograph functions also work well, although I wish the lower minute subdial were a little larger.The lume is weak, but that's expected for this particular watch style and not a manufacturing issue.I personally love the watch looks, and the solar movement truly creates a nice and easy to maintain package.
