The Torpedo Pro Eclipse by Momentum is a solar masterpiece. Sapphire crystal, 200m Water resistance with a solar panel that charges from normal everyday light conditions, enabling the watch to operate in Pitch darkness for 6 months and that unmistakable 9mm diameter, oversized screw down crown for confident water resistance even when operated with a glove, all packaged in a 316L stainless steel 44mm case and matched to a beautiful “H” link bracelet which won’t be left out at dinner after the day’s water sports, all equals an amazing watch with an even more amazingly wallet friendly price tag of only $275CAD. Just get one already.

Just got mine in the mail today and I agree with the excellent review. My second hand is a fraction off the seconds markings but it’s close enough that it doesn’t bother me. Bracelet is ok. Would have been nice to have a milled clasp but again it’s not a deal breaker especially since I’ll likely swap it out frequently. Wears smaller than the specs but I have a big wrist. On first impressions I really like it and it’s a good value for what you get. I was looking for another solar watch and this fit the bill nicely especially being a Canadian company.

I've got an Atlas Titanium and a Steelix Eclipse, both fantastic watches, for the money they simply can not be beaten, they get more wrist time than just about any of my 30 odd watches. The bracelet on the Steelix is ok, not a fan of the clasp, but I've changed it our for a yellow tropical, looks amazing. Loving the reviews, keep em coming!

Thanks for your support and encouragement Spence. I also reviewed the Aquamatic lV and loved it so much that I had to buy my own. Just as you said, it gets weekly wrist time over other watches also in, my over 30 watch collection. It truly is a great watch for a lot less money than others in the same category out there.

@@desire68frogman98 yup, they don't pretend to be something they're not, great designs, very functional and built to last and do what they are supposed to, with a bit of a smile at the same time, such as the big crowns and clever use of colour. If they make a Torpedo Blast with the Eclipse solar movement I think I would have found my ultimate do anything watch, for now the Steelix Eclipse is top of that list.

That’s a very hard question as I love all of my watches. I went through a stage where I was buying anything I “liked” Huge mistake as I ended up with a massive collection of mid tier watches. I sold a lot including some really great pieces which I’ll never own again. I mark that time as a great learning experience and now I try not to think of the many pieces that I’d love to still own and should have kept. Now, I only buy what I “love”. I like a lot of watches, but I don’t “love” them all. This has helped me to control my collection and I haven’t sold a watch since early last year. If you only buy what you love, you will make wiser choices and keep them all. There’s supposedly a new MRG Frogman coming out in 2023. I’m very interested seeing as I have, and love the only one of its kind to date (MRG-1100-2) launched in 1999 and the only full Titanium Frogman to be produced to date. The new one will be extremely expensive but we’ll worth it to me. It will probably be my next purchase. I haven’t really answered your question, apologies, but I really don’t have an overall favourite in my focused collection.

Just watched your video again due to my excitement after ordering one and I noticed your watch has a QC issue. Don’t know if you’ve already dealt with it but the dial looks misaligned to me. If you look at the text above the 6 it is not centred. Also the “Momentum” is higher over the 2 versus the 10. Looks like the whole dial might have been slight rotated a few degrees counter clockwise. Convenient that you can go in person to look into it if you haven’t already. Does change my mind about the watch. These things happen.

Yep, I saw that and showed them when I returned it, also, the vid may not show it but the second hand didn’t quite hit all of its markers. Now, while I’m used to the Seiko Tuna’s superior quartz movement, and can’t expect to see this in other quartz movements, I still like to see the second hand hitting each marker. Don’t let any of this put you off. These are fantastic watches, great value for money and the people who work there are fantastic to deal with. If you did have an issue, it would be very quickly rectified.

As a former diver can say, that momentum is not a serrtificated iso diver, most of my colleagues including me, using Seiko or Citizen as a back up watch or seckond watch, because you can trust them. And this with the crown is click bite, no one diver will operate with gloves the watch, because we prepare everything before to put the gloves and jump into the water. Don't get me wrong, I own momentum seaqartz and is my to go watch and boy, is getting a lot of attention in the bar.

I do know some people will use this watch to go diving with. With my limited knowledge of diving, I do understand that any diver wrist watch is only ever going to be used as a backup to a dive computer. I’m not a diver so I take the word from my friends that do dive. I also own some very nice and very capable seiko divers and will agree that they are of high quality. I’d probably choose the Seiko over the Momentum to go diving with if I was that way inclined. Anyway, this wasn’t “click bait” as you mentioned, I actually visited and talked to the team here in Vancouver, at Momentum about the watch, and the other Momentum pieces that I review, so I would take their word over anybody else about their own products.

@desire68frogman98 I agree with you and them. They designed the crown to be operated with gloves, I am just saying that no one professional diver will use the crown with gloves. Maybe it is not a click bite, more it's like a marketing trick, to make people buy the watch. This is not only Momentum, I watched many other micro brands using this trick with the crown.

@desire68frogman98 7 ай бұрын
@user-xl8in7xi4h Yeah, it’s more of a selling point. As you mentioned earlier, which makes perfect sense, you would set everything up, prior to diving. I do like the Torpedo but my favourite and choice was the Aquamatic, lovely watch and a collection keeper for me.
