Product Description
Classic analog styling with digital features, the Pulsar Men's Tech Gear Analog-Digital Watch boasts multiple digital displays on its analog dial. Square and round hour markers are set along the perimeter of the analog dial, which features luminous white minute and hour hands and a yellow second hand. Behind these hands reside the digital displays, which offer users handy info at a glance, like digital time, stopwatch information (with split time), and day of the week. Both the analog dial and the digital displays come backed by a stainless steel case and protected by a Hardlex crystal window. Keeping all of this securely on your wrist is a stainless steel band that closes with a push-button deployment clasp. Other features include water-resistance to 330 feet (100 meters), reliable Japanese quartz movement, and a built-in light for convenient after hours use.
The Pulsar Story
Pulsar by Seiko Holdings Corporation.
A spectacular breakthrough
Pulsar was born in an age of optimism. In the 1970's, everything seemed achievable through the rapidly growing technological expertise at the world's fingertips. Space flight had been converted from dream to reality, computer science was developing at break neck speed and electronics seemed to deliver new advances every day. Pulsar symbolized the age. It was new and it was bold, it was surprising and it was different. Pulsar, the world's first electronic digital watch, created a sensation when it was unveiled in New York in 1972 and it changed the world's perception of time.
A tradition of difference
When the brand was taken into the Seiko Corporation in 1980, it brought further surprises to the world; the first calculator watch in 1980 and the first all-quartz watch line in 1981 were among its industry-leading achievements. And throughout the '80's and 90's Pulsar continued to bring to market new products that were born to be different. The Avant-garde collection in 1980's set a new style in women's watches and Spoon in 1990's were unique designs which further cemented Pulsar's image as an ingenious and surprising watchmaker.
Towards a modernist future
Today, Pulsar remains loyal to its heritage. It was born to be different and it will remain so. Each Pulsar watch has the hint of the futurism and modernity that have always been its hallmark. Pulsar is a brand for the individual who appreciates real value and seeks quality with individuality and flair.
This watch is great looking, very durable feeling and looks a lot more expensive than the price tag. The face is a very, very dark blue and looks really sharp. Easy to program. Combines a dressy watch with the simplicity of a digital display.

Sure, it's made in China, but it's a good looking and very capable timepiece for $67. Some things I didn't know until I bought it: 1) The watch has two batteries - one larger SR41W for the quartz oscillator/digital display/light and a smaller SR626SW battery for the analog hand movement - as mentioned in an earlier review, mine came with a dead SR626SW and therefore frozen hands, $3 for an new battery did the trick (note: frozen hands may mean a dead battery, rather than broken watch), 2) the alarm isn't all that loud, but it is piercing and does wake me up, 3) Both the luminescent hands and the digital display light are just barely legible in the dark, 4) The watch is large, but nicely shaped and sits comfortably on the wrist, 5) the strap look fine but feels #and sounds) like a $67 watch strap.

This is a super watch. It looks great. It has the functions that I was looking for (analog time with simultaneous digital day of the week, day of the month, month and year) along with other functions. The band is very flexible and comfortable, with easy on/off via two side buttons on the clasp. Combine all that with a stainless steel case and band (no more plating wear through) and you have a real winner! The only minor drawback is the relatively large size and heavy weight.
