I use it for work a lot more practical then ripping the phone out to see the time.

It’s a great watch

This is the 10th time i have ordered this watch as my son and grandsons love them. Most are mechanics , hunters and / or farmers so a wristnwatchnus nit a good idea. This watch us dependable and easy to attach to their belt loops.

A replacement for a belt clip watch that I had for 20 years. This one looks good and keeps time. Sturdy carabineer.

Easy to read, hangs from my belt loop just fine, keeps time well. The one thing that annoys me is when the battery wears out it is almost impossible to replace. You just have to buy another watch.

This is my second one. Nothing fancy, just reliable and sturdy

I have been using Dakota watches for ten years. The first one I bought, the strap fell off because the pin got bent. I figured it was my fault so I bought this one since it is one piece. That one lasted a while so when it got wore out I bought a new one. The new one just FELL APART on me and I have not been rough with it. It was in great condition aside from scratches on the clip mechanism. Apparently I got lucky with the second watch. I contacted the company and they don't offer any warranty for the actual watch (only internal movement) and said I could pay them to fix the watch. I am not going to pay someone to fix a defective product that they sold me. I will never buy a Dakota watch again!Update 10-25-2024They sent me a message and offered me a new watch. Your customer service could have looked into my case and offered me a new watch. They didn't. You should have a warranty on your watches falling apart. I have suggested this brand to a lot of people and people at my work have even made jokes imitating me checking the time from my belt loop. For belt loop watch shoppers... if you have a bunch of money and you want a nice belt loop watch get this one. But I don't have a bunch of money to spare. I also don't want a free watch.

This design is used for corporate gifts. My original version from IBM had their logo in the oval area which has Dakota on the one that I am rating. I was glad to find this Dakota version as my experience with my original has been very good. If it lasts as long as my original, it is well worth the price. I decided it was time for a new one when after many years of daily use, the second hand finally fell off my original. So far this new Dakota is working out fine. It keeps good time and is easy to read.With a watch that clips to your side belt loop it is easy to scratch the crystal. Also, the red LED clear plastic bubble lens can break as a result of normal wear and tear over time. If this happens, the LED should continue to operate, but you may need to dress the remaining plastic portion with a file or sand paper should there be any sharp plastic edges on the LED.Concerning the crystal, if you want to keep it from getting scratched, I have found that if you put a screen plastic protector film over it, it will last forever. Use a circle template that matches the exposed diameter of the crystal and draw a circle with a fine permanent marker on the film and cut out the circle with scissors. Try to find a screen protector film that is not too stiff so that it will flex over the slightly convex surface of the crystal. Over time the screen protector will get scratched and dull looking. Just peel and replace with a new one and the watch will look brand new. The plastic film used to cover the front end of cars works well for this. Also, if you want to preserve the watch cover plate on the back of the watch, you can apply screen protector film on that as well. (Note: The watch comes with a larger diameter plastic film cover, but this film does not stick well, so if you want to protect the crystal you will have to make your own as described above.)
