Militado 36mm Retro Military Watch VH31/VH65 Sweeping Hand ML14 V2 owners widely praise its value, with one calling it the best military watch available and another the best field watch under 60 euros, highlighting the sweeping hand VH31 movement as wonderful. Some owners note the finishing on the 36mm model did not impress as much as on a 38mm variant. One owner regrets choosing a busy dial for legibility reasons and observes the sapphire crystal has a low dome. Setting the VH31 movement is described as a pain by one owner who experiences this with all VH31 watches. Overall, owners rate the Militado 36mm Retro Military Watch VH31/VH65 Sweeping Hand ML14 V2 highly for its exceptional value and functional sweeping hand movement.
Owners widely praise the Militado 38mm Military Watch VH31 Sweeping Hand Movt Watch ML24 for its attractive, legible military design and exceptional value, particularly on sale. The Seiko VH31 sweeping quartz movement is seen as a desirable feature, though some find its setting mechanism imprecise and note general sloppiness in the minute hand. One owner criticizes the sharp case edges and dislikes the cathedral hands, while another highlights the double-domed sapphire crystal with AR coating as a key differentiator. Overall, owners rate the Militado 38mm Military Watch VH31 Sweeping Hand Movt Watch ML24 highly for its worry-free wearability and impressive aesthetics at its price point.
