hey guys, just wondering if any Monster owners could post a review of at least their thoughts on long-term ownership of a monster. I'm talking using it regularly over say, a year or more. Anyone? Thanks!  |

Not going into a long dissertation here, but I love my OM! It's like a tank, runs about +10 sec a day, and the lume is second to none. Even having a SMP GMT, it's still my movie theater watch. The bezel IMO, is one of the best and easiest to operate out there. My only gripes would be non-hacking movement, and the fact that it cannot be hand wound. Other than that I love it, and when on, feels like a watch 10 times it's price. Bite the bullet and go for it. I can't imagine you would regret it.
Best of luck.

I have had mine for about 5 months so and i can tell you that I will never sell this one. I love it for a variety of reasons. For one it is very different than anything else, it is very unique. The quality is not that of a $150 watch, no way. The case is very solid and thick, the bezel rotates so smooth, and as mentioned before the lume is the best. I have never done an accuracy test for more than a couple of days but I would say it is at about +6. I opted for the rubber strap on mine because I didn't have a diver with a rubber strap, and I really like the look, actually I like it better with a rubber strap on it. The drawback for me is the non-hand wind movement, kind of an annoyance sometimes. the other thing is, it is a very sporty watch, it cant dress up, the in dices are big and it is kind of an in your face watch, so no tie with it, but it is a DIVE watch and I think that if I were to ever do some serious diving this would be the one I would take  I say for $150 go for it, I dont think you can go wrong   |

I dont think you will be dissapointed. I also like the orange one, I just dont think I would wear an orange watch that much.
If you do get 2, get one with the rubber strap, it is sooooo comfortable ;D
