REACTOR Men’s 79015 Photon Chronograph Copper Gradient Dial Stainless Steel Watch

True watch lovers need to take a close look at this brand! I don’t think there is a more rugged watch out there for the price. The guy who started the company is a former professional surfer and his watches are built to withstand the extraordinary demands of this sport.

I purchased this watch as a gift to myself last Christmas to replace a 20 year-old Seiko whose stem could no longer withstand the constant time changes associated with business travel. It arrive prior to the estimated delivery date and was expertly packaged and encased in a very distinctive presentation “box”.

This is my everyday watch and I’m known to be rather rough on my watches. To date, there are only a few minor scratches on the bracelet to report. Perhaps more importantly, I continue to get a kick out of it every time I check the time. It is a large, very heavy watch, yet comfortable. The icing on the cake – you don’t see these watches on every other wrist. In short, I love this watch!

I haven’t worn a watch for two decades. I love precision tools and found that any watch I bought or tried on in my budget range was inferior to my expectations. The prime factor that motivated my decision to purchase this watch was the manufacturer narrative featuring exceptional technical photos of the watch. With the security of ordering through Amazon Prime I felt there was no reason not to order it and try it on. This watch is so comfortable to wear that twice in the several days I have owned it I have worn it to sleep and not realized it until I was in the shower the next morning. That comfort comes from precision forged and machined parts which are ergonomical by design and in performance. The crystal is made of mineral, not glass or plastic. The face is like artwork, hell the whole watch is a piece of art.

I love the chronograph. I wont have to carry a stopwatch or wear one around my neck to do simple timing checks.

Buying one of these watches may end up being the equivillant to having bought a TAG-Hauer in their first decade of production. I suspect this will be an heirloom. Of course it will be a well worn heirloom, but it will still be a perfect timepiece.

Ordered watch on Amazon Lightening deal for $99.00. Pleased with weight and durability although face is not the most appealing. However, I purchased primarily due to the sale price and it looked like a good watch.

First disappointment was with the bright Swiss Superluminova dials and hands. When it’s dark, you won’t be able to read the watch (not a very good selling point).

Second disappointment was the fact that the stop watch reset to 2 seconds instead of 0 within 2 weeks of ownership. Watch was worn less than 10 times and not abused so I don’t understand why this would happen and concerned with the overall Japanese movement. Rated it a 1 because it didn’t hold up. Returned to Amazon.

Excellent styling. Built like a tank. extra thick mineral crystal. Solid SST hand polished links, as

well as the case. Entirely mfg out of 316 SST (excellent strengh and corrosion resistance). Fit great

out of the box, unlike most bracelet watches, which are sized for a gorilla. The chronograph can be

set to zero incrementally a few seconds past zero (12 o’clock) to compensate for human reaction time.

It keeps perfect time so far (only owned it a few weeks). Allen screws attach the band to the case,

eliminating any chance of separation.

This is truly a beautiful watch. Pictures don’t do it justice. Despite its size, it doesn’t look or

feel large, and is very comfortable, though a bit heavy.
