At 46 mm, it's a good-sized watch. Yet it's not too heavy. The strap is everything Greg and others have said Tat's straps were: thick, soft, and very wearable from the start. Plenty long, too.

 

The movement is not very loud. I can't comment on the accuracy as I've only had it one day.

 

However, I can already tell it's not for me. It needs AR, badly. The lume, which is supposed to be C1 Superlume, didn't pass my minimum lume test. I charged it up under my bright reading lamp for more 30 minutes, yet I couldn't read the time at 4:00 a.m. My guess is they simply didn't put enough lume material on the dial.

 

Those are not critical faults by any means: it's still a great watch and a bargain at just over $100 shipped EMS. I guess I learned I don't care much for the "Pilot" watch look.

 

As you can see by the tags, I'm putting it up for sale.

SWEET!!!!!

 

 

It takes a dude with a manly wrist to wear I pilot, so don't sweat it. A lot of people can't wear them.

Shame about the lume, but I love the dial... Good luck with the sale, Doc.

This Getat Pilot looks very similar to the Steinhart.

 

Does anyone know what movement the Steinhart uses, I'm assuming that this is a fraction of the Steinhart's cost?

 

 

Cheers
