TAWATEC E.O.Diver MK II Tactical ICS - Nato Armband

I own many Tawatec models wear one of the them almost daily. I especially prefer this model because it uses three colors of tritium (ICS model only). The all green tritum models are my second favorite Tawatec watches. I also own "all blue" tritium Tawatecs. This watch is lightweight, looks great, has a sapphire crystal, and is super easy to read. The nato strap is very comfortable but a rubber strap will last longer. The crown is at the 4 o'clock position so it will not dig into your wrist ( a real plus). The Ronda movement in this watch is very dependable and keeps accurate time. The sapphire crystal is a major plus and has an anti-reflective coating. The size of this watch is perfect for a 7 or 8 inch wrist (not too big and not too small). I'm glad AMAZON has the TAWATEC E O DIVER MK II watch back in stock.

I've only had this watch for a few weeks, but I really like it. The dial and hands are very readable in the dark, the watch looks good on my wrist, and it's very light. The anti-glare Sapphire crystal truly IS anti-glare. I've switched from a nylon NATO band that it came with and now have a leather NATO watchband (strap?) on it.Out of habit, I remove the watch when I shower, or when I do things that may generate enough impact to crack an ordinary crystal. (The instructions DID say to avoid warm water, but I DO wear it in the shower, once in a while). I'm hoping that the leather band doesn't have problems with water.Although I haven't gotten any compliments on this watch, it's okay -- I didn't buy it as a show piece. It works. It keeps good time. I like the different color for the hour and minute hand. It does what I bought it to do. I can't say that I LOVE this watch, but I certainly DO like it.This was shipped quickly, and it was kind of fun just watching the tracking updates, as it made its way around Switzerland, into France, then to the United States, where it passed through Customs, and finally was transferred to my local FedEx branch for delivery.UPDATE - June 2017: I really liked this watch. I changed the band to a metal one that I really liked. The watch ran beautifully unti the battery ran out and it stopped. I didn't think this was a big deal.Although I usually change my own watch batteries, I didn't want to take a chance with this watch. I took it to a watch repairman -- he didn't want to risk messing up the gaskets when he opened the watch. If the gaskets were damaged, the watch would no longer be water resistant. I don't wear it in the shower or while swimming, so there isn't much risk, even if the gaskets were damaged.I contacted Tawatec, asking where I can get the gasket, or find a local repair shop or dealer who would change the battery in the watch.No response.I tried four times, and each time , I got no reply or acknowledgment.Even though I'm in the Los Angeles area, I can't find any Tawatec dealers.I may look for a less reputable (and less cautious) watch repair person (not one of those stores that do quicky battery replacements and probably don't care about maintaining water resistance) and get the battery replaced -- but I'm really upset that, while Tawatec is good about selling their watches, there is ABSOLUTELY NO SUPPORT.This would have been a five star review if I didn't run into the 'support' problem

I loved the watch until it broke. I then contacted their support team in Switzerland and they said to send it and it would be fixed. Well, their customer support totally sucks. Actually it is non existent. They have not even responded to 6 emails. Nothing.There are other watches that are just as good and glow in the dark.I have a Reactor and their customer service is fantastic. Never buy from this totally crappy company.

overall a nice watch. one suggestion is to put a magnifying lens over the date as it is hard to read. Other than that , this is a fine watch.

Very nice watch, super light weight too! Iv'e owned numerous tactical type watches throughout my military career and in to retirement age. This is probably the nicest in regard to quality and ample use of tritium markers. The tritium tubes glow bright in night time viewing and I like the multiple color combination on this piece. Tritium tubes glow blue at the hour marks and the minute hand glows green, hour hand orange. The bezel has a top mark that glows as well. Some of the cheaper tritium watches only have the markers on the 12, 3, 6 & 9 hours. I also like the red anodized crown that is offset to the lower area of the watch. I find this offset placement to be extremely comfortable on the wrist. Overall, I am very satisfied with this watch! Time will tell regarding the durability, but the watch seems solid and I anticipate it being able to survive all this retired Vet can throw at it.

Watch was a disappointment. I've had various tritium watches since I was in the service. Mostly Luminox. My last Luminox watch the bezel failed just after it was out of warranty and I decided to try this watch based on the (at that time) good reviews. It's a good looking watch, and the multi-colored tritium was a nice touch. Unfortunately, this one was not a winner. After a few months a pin bent. Then the strap broke. About six months into it, the bezel also went bad. Finally, not long after a battery change the movement stopped. This was an expensive (for me) watch that didn't make it much passed the one year mark. I can't afford to buy and new $400 watch every twelve months. Not recommended

Once the Battery Dies the watch is useless. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! I have had mine a couple years and it is now a $300 paper weight. I have read other reviews since it has broken and others have had the same problem. Even TAWATEC responded to an email I sent claiming that once the battery dies the movement dies.

My watch is solid and has withstood more than a few bumps. Bezel ratchets nicely and feels sturdy. The illumination is great. I ended up getting the watch directly from TAWATEC which wasn't the best choice. TAWATEC had the bund strap that I wanted at no additional charge. (I ended up with a different strap later that is pictured)If water resistance is important to you, I suggest you or your watch master inspect the seal. The O ring under the metal back was folded over and would not have kept moisture out of the mechanism. After multiple emails to TAWATEC asking for a replacement O ring, I've given up on them as far as service. No reply at all. Perhaps another seller would be more attentive.
