Owners widely praise the Swiss Military Hanowa NAVALUS PRO CHRONO for its sapphire crystal, a feature uncommon at its price point, and its overall decent quality, with one owner finding it capable of handling snorkeling, swimming, and diving. The 43mm case size is considered a plus by some, who appreciate larger watches, and the rubber strap is noted as comfortable.

One owner also mentioned the metal band coming loose too quickly on an older watch. Overall, owners rate the Swiss Military Hanowa NAVALUS PRO CHRONO highly for its value and the inclusion of a sapphire crystal.
