Just got mine in today. I purchase a black one on rubber strap and have already ordered the custom Anvil Bracelet for it which hopefully will be here next week.

Just take the hands as one example of why this watch is so good.

All 3 hands are distinctive and so easy to recognise at night by their different lumes.A significant safety feature in its own right!!!!!There are many expensive dive watches which cannot make such a claim, IMO !!!!


This Monster Madness is Mesmerising!!!!!!

Some reviews seem to say 42 hours and others say atleast 24 hours.

42 hours seems optimistic in my experience.

Check the Monster timekeeping thread for a good link to this issue and having your Monster altered to charge better.It seems the Monster is only well charged if you are VERY active.

Hope this helps.

I have not taken a log of the power reserve but it's 40+ hours after a day of wearing.

I bought a couple of them a few years ago.
Mine hasn't been worn much but the one that I gave to my son Rick for a work watch has had a hiding over the past years. I have had to adjust his bracelet with a pair of pliers on a number of occasions but it has never missed a beat.
I don't know if it is running fast or slow but he is always late for work.

I did an another test for Monster fans.
I've wore the OM all day on 03/13 from 05:00AM to 11:00PM and left it on the
night table at dial up position.
It stopped today (03/15) at 07:21PM.
44 hours and 39 minutes.
