Bertucci A-1S Field Watch

NICE WATCH!!! I just received this the other day and have been wearing it night and day. I really need a watch that has good night visibility and this is it. Mine has the light khaki green band and it is super tough--as it everything on this watch. The watch size is perfect for those of us that do not have big, fat, thick wrists. So this is, at 36mm is the perfect size for me. It's extremely comfortable and the strap is never going to need replacing--it is very strong and tough.The dial cover is mineral glass (not sapphire but it is extremely hard). The bezel is titanium while the watch case itself is stainless steel. It is a very cool-looking watch and precisely accurate as well as comfortable.

First off, at 6'1" tall and weighing 163lbs (and no, I'm not too skinny--my BMI is spot on), I'm a slim guy.I was searching online for a SIMPLE (i.e., shows the time only--no dates, no electronic compass, no calculator, no barometer, no two-way radio, no built-in tape measure, no nothing else!) wristwatch that wasn't the size of Big Ben, when I found the Bertucci A-1S.With so many gigantic men's watches being sold today (I can only imagine large watches are either for showing off or for people who are massively overweight, which seems to be most of America these last few years), I was worried even this watch might be too big, so I went to Bertucci's website to get its exact measurments, then copied the photo of it and photoshopped it until the image was life sized when printed.I then cut out the printed image, taped it to my wrist, and saw that the size was perfect for my wrist size, so I bought it.The watch arrived today, and it fits the same as the image of it that I printed.I'm very happy with the watch so far, although I wish the case weren't so thick and wish the watch didn't weigh so much! (but it's probably thinner and lighter than the majority of other watches sold today).Aside from its thickness and heavy weight, the one other drawback is that I have to buckle the strap on the very first hole, leaving a long tail of strap, which dangles because the band has only one keeper--and although the keeper is designed so that you can double the tail back on itself to tuck under the keeper, with so much extra strap, this was not a neat enough solution, so I cut off the excess with a scissor. The end is fraying, so I'll ether melt the end or dip it in glue--folded and tucked under the keeper, it won't be seen anyway.So that's it--as modern watches go, this promises to be a great watch.UPDATE: I've worn this watch about a dozen times, and unlike the experience of the other reviewer here, the black finish is NOT rubbing off the buckle on the watchband.

Bertucci makes a very decent watch & all of the features that I wanted on a field watch are on this one. The two problems I encountered with mine were, 1. The seconds hand never lined up on the indices marks or hashes I guess due to type of movement installed on these. 2. My 62 year old eyes are not what they used to be as I was squinting to see the numbers on the smaller case. It’s just a smaller case & numbers than what I’m used to.

It has everything I’ve been looking for in a field watch. Time is very accurate. Lume is okay, the NATO strap fits very well, very easy to read. Thumbs up on functionality, and a big plus for the screw down crown, makes it very durable.

I’m very happy with the looks as well as the comfort of this Bertucci time piece. I’m wearing it as a daily, casual addition to my wardrobe, though in my opinion it's nice enough for those special occasions as well. This is my first Bertucci watch and depending on the life of the watch I will more than likely grab another when the time comes. Well worth what I paid. The Swiss accuracy is very smooth and the light up display works well. Really cool in my humble opinion.👍🏻. Looks and feels great.

This watch is very uncomfortable on the wrist unfortunately. My husband also stated that the band is not flexible at all. Clasps are poorly made. Quality is in line with price but it has higher reviews and I expected more.

This is perhaps the best budget field watch I own. Legibility is top notch for a small dial. Mine has the green strap, which is of excellent quality, and the color looks good with the SS case. This is probably the best strap I’ve found so far for my slender wrist. No more loose, floppy watches!

I bought this watch for my son. He loved it! After 2 weeks, it quit working. It was too late for me to get a refund from Amazon, so I contacted the seller. I wanted a refund or replacement. That was a month ago. They keep responding to my emails saying they are looking into it and that it’s taking longer than usual. I’m very disappointed and out over 100 dollars!
