02The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise the Timefactors PRS-40 for its unique, "badass" and rugged, futuristic design, with many highlighting the 12 o'clock crown as a distinctive and appreciated feature. The bead-blasted finish is noted to show light marks but resists deep scratches, and the sapphire crystal is considered good. While some owners find the 40.2mm case size acceptable, others describe the watch as large and wearing big, though it is noted to wear thinner than an automatic version. The fixed lugs necessitate the use of NATO straps, and the included strap is well-regarded. On balance, owners rate the Timefactors PRS-40 highly for its distinctive, bombproof design and unique crown placement at an accessible price point.
