Co-Pilot Men's Chronograph Watch with Stainless Steel Case and Brown Leather Band

The watch met with all my expectations.

Expensive but same price range as other Stauer watches. (I own one more). This watch looked great in the reviews and online, and I really liked the intricate pilot markings on the dial, so I bought it. Was surprised when it arrived. The packaging was great, came with a warranty card and instruction manual, which was very useful, or I wouldn’t have known Which was the 24 hour dial and which was the minute dial of the two smaller ones. The strap is not very fancy, sort of feels like cardboard mixed with raw leather and Took me a couple of minutes to get used to it, but the watch size is perfect for my wrist and I am very happy.

This is a great looking pilot’s watch! As a private pilot I own several watches with circular slide rule bezels including Breitling, Heuer, Citizen and Stauer, and this one is the easiest to read of all of them. Some of the others do not even have the hours scale as this one does. It is probably the least expensive of them all as well. The only complaint I have so far is the bezel is very tight and requires a good bit of effort to turn it. Even the 2 other Stauer watches I own are relatively easy to turn in comparison. However, it’s a cool watch nevertheless.

So far this watch has been great and reliable. I have hit my wrist on things and the glass did not break. Also I am in very humid climates and no moisture builds up under the glass as this has been a problem with other watches. The clock face is great and the chronograph works smooth. I would truly buy another one for myself or others. The only down side is the band, it feels like a synthetic leather in which the top surface peels off. Not a big deal because it is easy to replace.

Great watch, beautiful but the strap is crap. Reviews are right this breaks down and falls apart way too easily. Hopefully their customer support will replace this for me
