Militado ML05 38mm VH31 Quartz Watch - Domed Sapphire Crystal Field Watch C3 ...

I've had my eye on the Militado ML05 for a while, and finally decided to buy one. I chose the black dial no-logo Miyota 2035 version (ML05B is the model) instead of the VH31 because it's slightly cheaper, uses a battery that I already keep on hand, and should provide better battery life, 3 - 4 years between battery replacements instead of the 1 - 2 years with the VH31. I own another 2035 watch, and found that the 2035 provides acccurate timekeeping, and the batteries are easy to change. This 2035 Militado is also about 1 mm thinner (9.5 mm) than the VH31 version, according to the specifications on Militado's web page. Otherwise, the watch is identical to the VH31 version. The quality seems outstanding. The watch came carefully packaged (bubble wrap over cardboard over a foam-filled metal tin) and arrived without damage. Beautiful shallow-domed sapphire crystal, bead-blasted 316L stainless finish, drilled lugs, screw-down crown, 100M of water resistance, and that beautiful easy-to-read dial that reminds me of the Hamilton Field Khaki. I'm not a fan of NATO straps, so I replaced it with a 2-piece strap with a buckle, purely personal preference. This is a lot of watch for not a lot of money. Update: After 4 weeks, the watch has gained less than 4 seconds, according to the NIST timeserver.

I am very happy with this watch. Clean, robust, accurate, and 200 m. I would love a matching bracelet. I cannot stand any branded dial, except some from Hamilton. I want to see the time, not advertising the number of jewels, depth, etc. The only watches that are nicer than this, automatics, cost ten times more, and they do not always have screw-down crowns. Some may prefer a mechanical, but I do not want to wind every day.

I really like this watch. It's not heavy, it's quiet and the time keeps very well. It fits well and doesn't slide around or irritate my skin. I work in a hospital and need something that can take a beating (I've dropped it several times, it's been covered in miscellaneous bodily fluids and plaster, etc.) and I can clean it up and it keeps working. Need to count respirations or heart rate? Or more serious activities? Perfect for that too. Looks professional and is durable. And not so expensive that I worry about it getting broken or gunky. Will get another at some point I imagine.

Love the second hand - simple- no brand name on the face has a charm in itself - I like how the end of the strap wraps up and is visible - with the several loops - a little bigger wrist and you might not get this effect- see a 2nd photo - metal finish is nice - nice watch but pretty low key in the color I chose, which I’m happy with - I think I made the right choice after my Skagen minimalist watches which look great seem to die after a little over a year, and when I replace the battery professionally, they last another month then crap out Also I haven’t accidentally pulled the button and stopped it which seemed to happen from time to time with the skagens Been wearing silicone bands which are easy to wash - spilled on this and washed it right away no stain, however, if it gets wet, the water will penetrate the band. I don’t take this in the shower for that reason, plus I throw a Casio on at the gym where I shower 90% of the time Looks like it has a low intensity glow in the dark feature, but I wouldn’t bank on it 6 week update - a solid 2 minutes off. I like it, but it’s no Casio. Overall this is basically acceptable accuracy for me, but it’s def not perfection.

Not a true tophat crystal but overall a well built watch for the money, the movement is top notch

High value quartz field watch. Great size, wears amazing. The case is plastic I think, with a possible metal coating. It's very light weight, and the finishing is nice. Feels like you're wearing titanium, but it's definitely not. Lume is garbage, this is not for night operations. The strap feels a little rough and cheap, but it fits any 20mm strap you want, and drilled lugs make changing straps as easy as possible. There seems to be 15 variants, and they're all on the same listing, so check the specs of the specific model you want. I would not hesitate to buy again, this really feels like it could be 3 or 4 times the cost.

Perhaps the best value on a quartz driven field watch. Vh31 sweep movement is very accurate and reliable. Sapphire crystal resists scratches. Screw down crown (easily manipulated btw) and back plate provide water resistance to a rated one hundred meters (that's over three hundred feet folks which is twice the limit for sports diving). C3 super lume lasts all night. Looks good on a variety of straps. 20mm lugs are drilled for easy access. 38mm case diameter fits well on a wide range of wrist sizes and is tastefully brushed and finished. Ability to "hack". Easy to look at and attractive appearance. Light weight and thin makes me forget i have it on. I am very stoked with this great inexpensive and reliable watch. Looks much better close up in person than in pictures. The only con I can think of is battery must be changed after two years. If it were solar powered it would be perfect. This is my honest experience and I have not been paid or compensated in any way. But don't just take my word. Check out the almost countless videos on YouTube singing it's praises under "Militado MLO5"

Well constructed watch that we purchased for our son's 11th birthday. We purposely bought it a bit big for his arm so that he could have it as he grows, and the size has worked well. It has also held up well in the past 6 1/2 months of use and wear and tear that a typical 11 year old boy would put it through. This is not a child's watch, but we were purposely looking for something that he could use going forward and hope that it lasts him into adulthood. Overall we are very happy with this purchase and would recommend others buying this watch.

Excelente reloj.

Muy bueno por el precio, gran homenaje a los dirty dozen.

Un excelente producto.

El reloj está precioso, sumamente bonito, se ve bien hecho, sólido, preciso y de buen material. Veremos cuánto dura. Aunque la caja de alguna manera es lo de menos, debo comentar que es muy sencilla, se nota barata y no luce nada agradable por si quisieras regalarlo. No soy 5 estrellas por la presentación de la caja.

Es muy buena opción Me gustó bastante. Lástima que no es automático. Por 800 pesos mexicanos está bien. El ancho de la correa es de 20 mm
