This high-performance dive watch features Solar 4000 Technology, an eco-friendly power system that charges from any light source while you wear it and offers uninterrupted power for 180 days when fully charged, so you'll never need to change a battery. A low charge indicator kicks in when less than 72 hours worth of charge remains, and a quick-start feature re-starts the motion with just 2-3 seconds of light exposure. The watch also has built-in technology to prevent overcharging. Designed with rugged good looks to match its superior performance, this dive watch features a marine blue dial with luminous hands and markers for excellent visibility in low light. The dial also features a step-motion second hand and a date window at the three o'clock hour. A unidirectional rotating bezel with engraved dive time markers frames the dial, allowing safe timing of dives and other limited events. The watch is set 44 mm stainless steel case with protective rubber bumpers and presents on a steel link bracelet that fastens with a foldover clasp with safety. An extension system on the bracelet adds length, allowing it to be worn over a dive suit. Other notable features of this watch include precise quartz movement, a scratch-resistant mineral crystal, and a screwdown crown and caseback for water resistance to 200 meters. Warranty
Pulsar's three-year warranty (from date of purchase) covers all of the watch--inside and out. All moving parts, the case, crystal, bracelet, and battery are covered.

 HEAVY, Tough, Smooth, Accurate, and did I say HEAVY! |

I don't usually write a review on products (think this is my first one), but I figured I'd take a little time to write one on this fine watch.
I've owned a few other watches. A Rolex Explorer II, Invicta Pro Diver, Atomic G-Shock. This is probably my favorite out of all of them.
First, if you don't like HEAVY watches then don't buy this one. It's HEAVY. Probably not fair (after reading this) if you come back here and give it 1 star because you think it's too heavy. :)
Second. It runs off a battery that has to be initially charged. You have to put it under a light source and leave it for some time. A lot like charing up a cordless phone for the 1st time.
Mine keeps very accurate time. Much like any quartz type watch and much better than any of my "automatics", but not as good as the G-Shock Atomic. :)
Things I like about this watch. "Brushed" stainless. Basically it's pre-scratched. Heavy. I like a watch with some substance. "Rounded" and doesn't irritate my skin. The Invicta and Rolex had "sharper" edges and would bother me after a while. Solar powered and don't have to worry about changing a battery.
Nice big dial. Extra clasp links to go over a scuba suit. (Don't think I'll ever use). Glows in the dark nicely. Can stop the sweep hand for precise setting of time (I couldn't do this on my Invicta). Easy to change the date. Locking clasp.
I'm very happy with this purchase and would buy another should I lose this one. After I got it I wished I'd bought 2.

This is a great watch. Yes, it is heavy, but that is a good thing. The band can be adjusted to a good comfort level and it wears a lot lighter than it is. The band also has an extender for wearing over a wetsuit--a great feature for colder water divers.
If you charge the solar cell by keeping it under a light overnight, it won't fail on you (as it did for one of the other reviewers). The movement of the bezel is smooth and it will stay in place once you have it turned to where you want it.
This is a great watch. For this price, you won't find better. |
Pulsar's own MONSTER

For those of you in the market for a cheap/high quality dive watch, this is the best bang for the buck. Great build quality, feels solid and heavy, and the blue dial is really classy. The pictures just don't do it justice. The only minor complaint I have is that the bracelet isn't quite up to par with the body of the watch. The links feel a bit too light, perhaps to compensate for the overall heft of the watch.
This watch has all the key traits of a diver's watch: screw back and crown, 200m water resistance, good visibility and a mechanism that does not require a battery change. More expensive watches may have sapphire cristals which are more resistant to scratches than mineral cristals, and automatic movement which might be more sophisticated than solar power, but at the same time is less accurate. If your budget allows you, perhaps you should also look at the Seiko Monster Automatic Watch (#SKX779K1) which is the benchmark for the inexpensive diver's watches. In any case, this Pulsar holds its own in this highly competitive marke. You might say this is Pulsar's own monster. |

| I recieved this watch as a birthday gift and it is awesome! It's heavy, solidly built, tough, and can take a beating. The first day I wore it I had to change two flat tires on a hunting trip in a rain storm. This watch was subjected to water, mud, grease, and a plethora of cuss words and it survived the trip without a scratch. I actually put a scratch in my pickup truck with the watch while changing out the tires. I had a Seiko for 8 years and it finally rusted out from the inside due to not being water proof. I recommend this watch to anyone who is looking for a watch that looks great, is tough, and never needs batteries. |
Very Pleased

| Pulsar is made by Seiko. Both quality lines. Gave the watch a FULL solar charge as explained in the owner's manual. Even though it may sit in a dark drawer for weeks (I have a collection of timepieces I enjoy), it's been keepng great time as one expects from a quartz movement. The band and watch have the weight and feel of a high quality diver's timepiece. If you want a lightweight watch, this is not for you. I like the beautiful dial too. |

I wonder if this solar technology will eventually find it’s way into all watches and do away with batteries and winding all together.
