Dakota Digital Mini Clip, Alarm, Stopwatch, Timer and Dual Time, Quality Fob and Pocket Watch, Premium Durability Outdoor Gifts for Men and Women, Tactical Digital Clip on Watch

This item can’t be bought in Britain and consequently has to go through customs etc and took a while to arrive. That said, I’m pleased with it. The watch comes in a metal case inside a cardboard exterior box. The first thing I noticed is that it is a solid metal device with a quality feel. The glass appears to be mineral which is good and the device is thicker and heavier than I expected. Again this is all good from my viewpoint. The display is fairly crisp with good contrast. The features are pretty well intuitive but a user guide is included underneath the watch holder. I am pleased with my purchase and am sure it will attract comment from people as it is attractive in a modern way.

Arrived on time in good order

My wife got the watch for Father’s Day and it’s brilliant. Has a nice wight to it and feels nice in the hand

Edit: There's a second battery! Turns out both I and the jeweller mentioned below are just a bit dense. After prying off the back of the case, remove the large CR2032 cell battery, pop out the carrier, and hidden underneath is a tiny SR626 battery that powers the movement. A little fiddly to get everything lined up (requires bending out the little metal tabs to get good contact between the button, the carrier and the LED and have it all fit snugly together) but it's now working perfectly again. Helpful tip 1: when repositioning the plastic carrier, hold the button in and line up the indented metal tab onto the end of the protruding rod, otherwise the carrier can sit askew and stop the LED from working. Helpful tip 2: the notch in the removable case back must line up over the button or it won't snap back into place. I've given this an extra star, but still 4/5 as the watch glass on the first one I bought kept falling out. Also, I feel Dakota should really include instructions on changing the movement battery in the box. Glad to be able to keep this one going for a bit longer though. Original: I've bought 2 of these in about 5 years. Each has died after a couple of years. As others have said, battery replacement makes no difference, red LED still works. The local jewellers said the mechanism broke both times, but is prohibitively expensive to replace given the price of the watch. Unable to return to manufacturer under warranty as they're based in US. Nice while it lasts, but doesn't last forever.

I bought my first Dakota mini clip watch a few years ago and used it with all my bags as I went out and about. When it finally broke it wasn't easy to find a replacement in the UK, so I was delighted to see Amazon had them back in stock. My ordered mini clip arrived quickly and is just as good as my previous one. They are easy to unclip and the watch face is clear to read. Happy with purchase.

I was super excited about this clip watch. However it has stopped working. Took it to a jewellers, thinking the battery needed changing. Jewellers say it is a mechanism fault and cannot be repaired. Why did you choose this product over others?: I thought it as a quality well made watch...but I was wrong.

Very nice product.

Neat Carabiner watch, useful to hang from waistband.

My watch just arrived here in sunny Kandahar, Afghanistan. It exceeds my every expectation. Materials: Extremely durable casing, attractive finish to the face and the exterior (not tacky, as so many in this price range are), sturdy clip. Features: The microlight is red. I might have preferred a simple white, but I guess they were going for the tactical map reading idea - it's advertised as a "military" image. All the same, it's plenty bright even in a pitch black room - no problems walking around and not bumping into things. And you probably could read a field map with it too. :-) Value: This watch is a steal for the price. Even watches $20-40 more in price are shoddy in comparison. And then - I gotta mention it - the box. Even the box is amazing. The watch comes in a dual clasp sealed weather resistant plastic casing that can be reused for any number of things (in my case, clasped to the outside of my assault pack to keep small items dry and accessible.) Shipping: Well packed, and fast - beat the required delivery date by weeks. Buy with confidence dear readers - this one won't disappoint you. I wanted a low cost belt loop/pocket watch because I hate typing with a wrist watch on, one that I could use on deployment, expecting that anything I bought for this price would probably not last beyond a year. I see many years of use out of this watch (and its very special box) to come.

As soon as I saw the box I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't expecting much for 45 dollars but when I saw the aluminium case it comes in and pulled it out and felt the weight of it, I knew I made a good purchase. The red light it emits is incredibly bright too! I highly recommend this watch.

Got this for grandson graduation haven’t given it to him yet, but looking at the watch, it is outstanding superbly crafted it. I am sure he would love it.

My husband liked the watch but after two weeks the light didn't work any more.
