TACTICAL FROGMilitado ML08 Japanese Sweep VH31 Field Watch 38mm Men's Military Watch Sapphire Crystal 10 ATM Waterproof Analog Watches for Men and Women

I started out really wishing Hamilton made a quartz Murph—something grab-and-go with that same classic field watch style. Spoiler: they don’t. But while searching for a decent alternative, I stumbled across the Militado ML08 VH31. This thing punches way above its weight.Every time I check the time, I’m impressed by how good it looks. It nails the vibe I was chasing—simple, legible, military-style design like the Murph, but with a quartz heart (Seiko VH31, smooth sweep). The 38mm size is perfect: comfortable, well-proportioned, and easy to wear.The finishing is better than expected at this price. Brushed case, solid-feeling crown, clean dial printing. For $90 (even though I know it can be found cheaper on other sites), the quality is hard to believe. I would’ve paid $500 for a Hamilton-branded quartz Murph—but this absolutely scratches that itch.The seller was great and shipping was quick. If you’re after a dependable, no-fuss field watch with classic looks and quartz convenience, this one’s worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Don't let the price or name fool you. First, do your research on this watch, and you will find a dedicated fanbase. I got this watch as a weeker that I would not mind if it got beat up. I was immediately impressed with the size of the case and the hands. The movement of this watch is fantastic. The second hand sweeps more than it ticks. This quartz movement is a perfect time keeper. I love this watch and recommend it for any enthusiast. I immediately swapped the strap to a silicone one that can endure getting wet and can be easily cleaned.

All in all it does exactly what I was hoping for. A very nice vintage field watch for under $100. The sweep second is a bit clunky (maybe 3 ticks per second instead of a usual 5 from an automatic watch) but still better than 1 per second. Overall looks great and the screw down crown is nice. Hopefully it is waterproof for swimming. Will report back on that.Biggest area for improvement would be the quality of the nylon NATO band which feels a bit like sandpaper. Also the anti-reflection coating definitely can improve.

Excellent value and quantity. I like that it's unbranded. You get the wearing experience of the Swiss watch it's modeled after without the expense. The smooth seconds quartz movement makes it look even more like an automatic. If you're after the look and feel of the expensive automatic, but don't care about having the branding and heritage of the original, this is an inexpensive alternative. It's not an exact "copy," but it's its own thing with the quartz movement and some details. A nice homage at a great price

I've only had this watch for a week, but so far I am very pleased. It is a beautiful watch and the fit and finish are well done. Thus far it has kept perfect time and I really like how the vh31 second hand sweeps. The band that came with it matches well and is comfortable but I changed it out for a black leather band which makes it look a little more upscale. The only thing that may be considered sub par is the lume. It is pretty weak and fades fast but I don't use the watch in the dark so it doesn't really concern me. In conclusion, I would definitely purchase it again.

This a nice green Militado watch from Tactical Frog.It has a sweeping second hand and is quiet.I changed the strap with a different Tactical Frog strap for a better fit.There are no logos on this watchHas screwdown crown and the lume is pretty good.

Sweet Watch. Very nice. Thanks. Why did you pick this product vs others?:Wanted a Murph and the Militado"s price was reasonable with good reviews.

Amazing. Keeps perfect time to the second over 6 weeks. Love this for a Hamilton Murph Homage.
