Steelix Eclipse [44mm] | Solar Field Watch | Momentum

Makes a great adventure watch with ruggedness and style. I’m a automatic watch person but wanted something self powered, reliable, durable and would be proud to wear. The Steelix Eclipse is it. Seems quite accurate in keeping time and takes the abuse of cycling, off-roading, and other outdoor pursuits. Feels solid and comfort on the wrist and the face is very legible.This is a locally sourced, and better alternative to another solar powered watch.

I came across Momentum's website when I was looking to see if there were any local watchmakers here in Vancouver. When I first saw the Steelix Eclipse, I knew I wanted it. A tanky field watch with a diver's level of water resistance and a solar movement? Yes please. Wearing the watch has been pretty awesome. The watch case fits perfectly on top of my wrist with the lugs wrapping around it and the Goma Rubber strap is nice and comfy. Also, the movement keeps great time. I've been very happy with this watch, and I feel safe knowing that if I ever need to get something fixed, I could just drive to Momentum and get it checked out.

Having spotted the Steelix on bushcraftcanada.com I was immediately interested. I knew I wanted a non-smart ass watch but there are many options. However, there aren't many options that are this well done. These are durable, easy to read, the battery should last a very long time, although we will see, and have quality components inside. They are assembled in Canada, have excellent customer service and do not completely break the bank like some other more well known brands. So I'm v happy to say that I own this watch. If you think owning one might be a good idea, I would like to suggest to you that you are absolutely correct. Five stars.

My watch initially arrived with some blemishes and mfg errors in the orientation of the watch face. Customer service was excellent in helping me return it for correction. When my watch was returned to me, the initial issues were fixed, however, there are now a few small dents in the watch case - two on the lugs, one on the case body. It’s frustrating - I have two other Momentums which arrived perfect, but this one has been a different story. I don’t have it in me to send it back again. This is a field watch afterall and I expect it’ll get knocked around a bit by me anyway. I’m still happy, but with a dash of apprehension about Momentum’s QA now. Customer service was, again, A+.

I’ve received extra bracelet links free of charge. The watch is prefect now. Great quality, legibility and wearability. Thank you Momentum for sending extra links.
