Oceanus Watch: REACTOR Men's 53501 Gamma Black Dial Two-Tone Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch Review

Average Reviews:
3.7 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I first heard of Reactor in Saltwater Sportsman magazine. One of their target markets is sport fishermen. Anyway, it's a great looking watch as are many of the watches in their line. It's well made using quality materials and the finish is top notch. The latch and lock on the bracelet are top notch and not found on watches at this price point. The case is quite heavy and made from stainless steel. Sure it's not a "fine" Swiss watch but it has the look and feel at a fraction of the price. I've had this model for about 6 months and the Japanese movement keeps perfect time. I did somehow scratch the crystal pretty bad and I'm sending it back for repair. I'll post my experience with the service as soon as it comes back. All in all, at $400.00 it's well worth the money and I'd be confident to recommend this brand to anyone.

Sent the watch back for repair. Filled out the form and enclosed $20.00. Received an email from Reactor when the watch arrived stating that they had in fact received the watch and were replacing the crystal. They did the repair and I had it back 2 days later. Great turnaround and awesome customer service.
