02The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise the Timefactors SMITHS NATO PRS-40 AUTOMATIC for its unique, "badass," rugged, and futuristic design, with some finding its "ugly" aesthetic appealing for its bombproof nature. The Seiko 6R15 movement winds smoothly and operates quietly, and the watch features 100m water resistance and a flat sapphire crystal. The 12 o'clock crown is noted as easy to use by rolling, and the fixed lugs necessitate NATO straps. Some owners report issues with Timefactors' ordering system and customer service, and one found a speck of dust under the crystal, though another noted no imperfections. Overall, owners rate the Timefactors SMITHS NATO PRS-40 AUTOMATIC highly for its distinctive "beater" watch build and unique aesthetic at the price.
