Seiko quality for a Casio price with a crappy, painful band.Feb 06, 2011
By John Doe
"jd"
Once the band is changed it is a great, comfortable watch. It is a decent sized watch for a 7 inch wrist. Second hand lines up perfectly. Bezel ring rotates very smoothly and is nice and snug with no play. It is the about the same dimensions of my Tag Heuer Aqua Racer. My wife would not let me change the metal band on my tag for a rubber one, so I bought this inexpensive watch instead. If you are thinking about getting the Casio Mako(cheap feeling, lots of play in the bezel ring), I will say that this is a much higher quality watch for just a little bit more. This is in the same league as my Seiko Pepsi Diver with regards to quality. Even though it says Pulsar on it, it might as well be a Seiko. Seikos are some of the highest quality inexpensive watches. The Lume is as bright as my Seiko Divers watch was. The crystal is slightly recessed, which is nice. Nice clean face and hands with similar styling to the seiko divers watches. The watch is very comfortable on the wrist- it rests nicely without a lot of jiggling around on the wrist, which is nice.
Downsides? Nothing is perfect. I was going to try to endure the strap that came on the watch. I lasted about an hour before I ran out to the local watch store for a replacement. The stock strap actually made red indentations into my wrist. It is sharp and cruel. Hence the four star rating. The new strap fixed all of that. I bought a nice black rubber strap with white stitching that makes the watch look more expensive than it is. The only real down side is the strap.
If I wanted to be really picky I could complain about the lack of a 200 meter rating, but I only swim on the top 1 meter of the water, usually. Or I could nitpick that does not have a screw down crown, or that the crown is not fancy. The bezel ring does not have a clearly identifiable marker at the 12 o'clock position- the 12 o'clock position looks almost the same as 3, 6 and 9 . The back of the watch is flat and unimpressive. But who looks at the back of a watch? The watch might not be as finished as my Tag Heuer, but it is good for the price.
The only other potential down side is that this watch was probably manufactured in 2006, which was about 5 years ago. So either the battery is going to be dead real soon, or else they already replaced the battery.
I think that the price reduction is probably because they have a lot on hand. Many people have probably bought ecodrive watches instead. Would I have liked the fancier Citizen ecodrive instead? Yes, but not for [...] more. If this lasts me 4 years before I am sick of it then I will have gotten my money's worth.
Overall great knock around watch. Just don't bother at all with the strap- plan on changing it right away.

Pretty-niceOct 05, 2006

The watch itself is really nice. The body seems like it is rugged and tough. The rotating bezel is also smoothe. The only reason i give this a 4 is because of the rubber, flimsy strap.

Good for its priceDec 20, 2006
By Dion J
I got this one for my friend. Looks kind of "manly", the dial is big and you actually feel it on your hand. A good choice indeed. This model is actually a modified version of another model(#PF3293) by the same company which is priced at about $90. Needless to say that the other one is much more stylish but then this model saved you about 40 bucks and comes with just a little compromise on that guys kinda casual-flair.
I would say this watch is certainly worth its price. So, go for it if you are running tight on your budget but if you can spare another $40 the other model is definitely a better choice. Someone else talked about the flimsy strap, I have'nt really had any problems with that.

Great valueOct 28, 2011
By Olivier
I was looking for a watch which would look reasonably upscale to wear at work. In my job there is a certain expectation for quality, but I did not want to spend several thousands dollars with a blue-chip brand when my current watch was an absolutely bulletproof $15 French chronograph that was my companion for 5 years of surfing, kayaking and multiple half and full marathons.
I decided to try this one after learning that Pulsar was a brand from the Seiko group. I have held Seiko in very high regards since I bought one of their sports chronographs in Hong Kong 20 years ago - that watch was built to high standards and never drifted more than 15 seconds from the official time.
While appearance is a matter of personal taste, there is no doubt that this Pulsar watch is built to the Seiko standards. As other reviewers noted, the bezel turns with a solid yet smooth feel, the clasp is very precise and has no play, and the case was visibly machined carefully. Hands also align perfectly on the hour marks. The watch is virtually silent (can be useful if you sleep with it on your nightstand) and its hands are sufficiently bright at night. I cannot assess long-term accuracy yet, but after one month the watch still tells the official time within a few seconds.
My only negative comments would be that the "Pulsar" and "Water Resist" markings have a bit of a cheesy, low-scale font, and that the buckle also looks cheap.
Other reviewers complained about the bracelet, but I gave it a few days to adapt to my wrist and ultimately decided to keep it. While I have seen some more comfortable, it is OK enough to wear for a full day.
Overall, this is a great product for the money. Similar watches from better known brands (including Seiko) cost about three times this Pulsar. I definitely recommend it.
 good, tough and quite cheap scuba watchFeb 21, 2012
By adams
"biker"
Five stars. I had it at 180ft depth. Several times. After a bad experience with more expensive Momentum watch I used some silicon grease around the crown, so I can't really say if the watch is waterproof or the silicon trick did it.
After some use, the black bezel get scratched away though, and I have to say that despite many scratches on the bezel there is NONE on the glass. Good. Even after getting some sand the bezel works fine. And it doesn't click when tapping it like that Momentum 1M-DV00L1B M1.
Several things I'd like to see in this watch are:
- luminous dot on the bezel at 12 o'clock (see Pulsar PXN133 or Pulsar PUA120 Tech Gear Solar Diver)
- luminous dial (underwater it's kinda important, my light is about 1000 Lumens, so I can't use it so light my watch)
- concave dial (see: Seiko SKXA35 Automatic Dive watch or Seiko SKX007K Diver) with notches at every minute connecting with the notches on the bezel
- serrated edge of bezel for better grip, as it's sometimes hart to turn it especially when all the small particles in the water get inside the bezel (see Momentum watches, they have that grip).
- softer rubber strap and second loop for securing the strap end (see Momentum 1M-DV00L1B M1)
- lock/unlock unidirectional movement of the bezel - on non-diving days, moving bezel the other way could be quite useful, for example to cook an egg :)
