A good looking time piece.It is not expensive watch.

I bought this thinking survivalist gear, not. It's heavy and rugged but the pins locking the strap to the watch come off very easily. This watch has fallen off my wrist several times. The watch is working great for me but the "pin thing" is frustrating. Don't get me wrong the watch looks cool and tough but it behaves like a sissy.

I ordered this watch online and it is just terrible. The side pin needs to be screwed in out/in to use and the thread on the screw gets worn out really fast. I had to send it in to get fixed. The strap is really stupid. The flashlight is finicky and often doesn't work. Finally, this watch doesn't show the date. I paid a lot of this watch and I never use it. Stay away from this watch!

I hardly believe that it can be considered a Military Watch. The time hands went out of sync after three month and so far I could not find anyone to fix it. The electromagnetic recharger stop recharging. I am contacting MTM hoping that I can send it to be fixed. Either way the product look to me more of a toy than a Combat Ready asset.

Yes they say it's "Battle Ready",...don't think so. I owned for 2 months, the first time i was walking into the ocean with it on i was in water up to my thigh, a small wave hit my wrist and the pins fell out and the watch off my wrist. lost it. my Gshock has been on my wrist for 8 years and still works.

We have discontinues all MTM products due to the inefficiency of their order processing and unproffesional staff, as well as having issues with their products.

I brought a mtm warrior watch, from special ops UK. all i can say about the watch and the service is excellent. I'm very pleased with the watch, its quite a heavy timepiece. but didn't mind that. Ive had many watches in the past. but when i came across the mtm it was just what Ive been looking for. the strap is good and strong, and the clasp is well made. the black coating on the strap and watch seem to be good quality. the trillium tubes could be a bit brighter, but that said it can be seen at night.its really is a good looking lump of stainless steel. the carbon fibre face is a very nice touch, almost looks 3D. I would recomend this watch and company to anyone, and im not any thing to do with the company. overall 9/10.

I have recently bought an MTM Warrior watch which looked great & great presentation. After only abought eight weeks the minuate hand became loose so spun around independantly. I contacted MTM informing them as to what had happened. They told me that they would send me a returns bag. Just over a week later nothing had arrived. I got back in touch with the same person who then informed me that she found that they have their own account with Fedex could I send it back through them. Just over four weeks now! Still no watch. I must add the watch had only been on my wrist a few times. Not good service at all. : (

Very Heavy watch so would think it was studry. It is not with in a week of owning the black on the band wore off. The timers is not centered and looks dumb. The clasp just broke and no one can fix it. My thought would be stay away it not what you think it is.

I Have the MTM Black Falcon in titanium, I absolutely LOVE this watch!! The 5 LED light modes are awesome and very handy for nighttime activities!! I previously owned the Blackhawk, I liked it but wanted the white LED lights so I sold it to get the Falcon. This watch is very well built and tough!! I have worn and abused it daily now for over 2 years and other than some small "rub" marks in the coating it still looks brand new!! The PVD coating that MTM uses is the best in the business!! I've owned 6 other PVD watches and NONE has held up as good as this one!! It takes a while to fully charge after running down, MTM says 45hrs, I found it takes about 35hrs the 3 times I've charged mine. The charge last a lot longer than MTM says!! On average mine lasts at least 4 to 5 months on a charge and I use the lights daily in my line of work!! I was really surprised by how long the battery lasts!! MTM hit it out of the park with this one!! By comparison, It last months longer than the Blackhawk I owned!! The only complaint I have is the "Special OPS" writing and theme of the watch, it shouldn't be on the watch dial. If they must have it on the watch, put it on the caseback where it's not seen by everyone who admires it!!(And they do, I've had several compliments)
Overall I would recommend the MTM Falcon to anyone wanting a great watch!

I bought an MTM Warrior watch 3/4 years ago and have abused this watch for the entire time,.......dropping it onto concrete, smashing it against hardened steel in work 1000's of times, even forgot to tighten the bezel( after changing the time then went swimming with it on), and it ended up full of moisture! - not a problem tho just took the back off and let it dry. Im also a downhill biker, and this watch has survived many encounters with rocks after i come off the bike. This watch is indestructible, and Im amazed its still going strong. When or even if it does ever die I will happily buy another .

I just bought a used MTM Blackhawk watch off Ebay and it's totally awesome!
A tip for anyone who owns one - there were a few small scratches and wear marks on the black plating so a light application of gun blue quickly had the watch looking like brand new again.

Black Patriot w/ Black Steel Band and Rubber II Band
Absolute Best Buy.
For the money it is well worth it's $550 price tag. It is virtually indestructable, and has survived nearly every element of war. I have been commented thousands of times on that watch, and many people in my company have purchased an MTM watch.
Favorite Features:
It's strength: The Black Patriot is not heavy nor "weightless", but it is just the right weight for 24/7 use. It's luminisity. It glows where it is not obvious to others on the battlefield that I am wearing a watch, but it allows me to determine the time at night.
I also love the fact that the second hand stops ticking when I set the time, this allows me to accurately set the time.
It is dead-on! In the time period of 8 months my watch changed by 5 seconds. This is virtually impossible with anyother watch, even some digital ones.
Cons:
The only thing that slowed my decision on purchasing it was that it only has a 3 year warrenty, but I have not taken advantage of it once (I have owned it for just under a decade). The battery lasts me 3 years, and it is easy to replace at any convience shop, or jeweler. The nice feature that watch lets you know when the battery is getting low.
Over all this is a GREAT INVESTMENT and you would be crazy to turn to another watch company.

Just unpacked my new Blackhawk. I ordered it with a steel band and the additional balistic band. Leaving the steel band on for now, because it makes it look pretty classy. I was pleased to see that the writing on the face of the watch had become smaller. But as far as I'm concerned the words "special ops" could be left away. But that's my opinion.
The watch feels good and looks the part.

Ordered a black Patriot online 15/4/09. The MTM UK website, and all the internet fusion websites stated it was in stock. Following day got an email from them saying its not in stock and wont be available till the end of the following week. Phoned them today to see about an alternative to be told 'we have pretty much everything else in stock', so i asked for a steel Warrior with a ballistic nylon band. 'Sorry that one's not in stock either'. My patience ended at that point. Utterly utterly useless. If they cant be bothered to update their websites, they have no chance of getting their hands on my cash. Total waste of time and effort.

The MTM Special Ops Black Hawk titanium version is the best model weighing in at only 4g deep case mega bright facial lights, when it's on your wrist it's a real eyecatcher could be mistaken for a much more expensive piece of wristwear.lovely presentation on delivery with it's ballistic seahorse case a watch with a real statement.
to much advertising on the face would be better off plain to show some
more of that lovely nasa style carbon fibre...........the titanium bracelet sucks for pulling the hairs out of your arms if i wanted bald arms i would have bought a mach3 and shaved them i would definately swap it for the ballistic strap...........apart from that a allround good timepiece but be quick limited numbers for civillians.
8.5 out of 10

The MTM Special Ops Black Hawk watch is good. The price in the UK is far more than if it was bought in the US. It is also the same price from everybody in the UK. Why is it 100s of pounds more in the UK than in the US

The watch is terrible and way over priced. No customer service whatsoever. Times more reliable.

I found this review not helpful because...it is supposed to be a review of the watch not of the price differences between the US and UK. The review says absolutely nothing about the quality or functionality of the watch.

Bracelet is great but the screw in is easy to strip if putting ion strap or band. Overall however it is excellent value and so far withstood 2 years serious wear. Very satisfied.

I paid £350.00 for this watch over a year ago, no problems and worth every penny.

I would advise people not to buy any MTM watches, I have heard from a few other people and they have also had similar issues with the screws breaking in the strap, faulty product at a high price and little or no after sales support, no customer service in my situation.

EVERYONE I HAVE SPOKEN TO REGARDING THE MTM WATCHES ALL SAID PROBLEMS WITH PINS FALLING OUT AND BLACK COATING COMING OFF WITHIN DAYS AND LOUSY SERVICE.

I have THE black falcon for about 3 years, and iT still looks Like new!!!! Never had 1 problem

I received an MTM special ops black Warrior the other day and would have to say i am impressed. The watch seems to be made very well and of solid construction and the tritium gas tubes glow brilliant. The face is clear and easy to read and the hands are big and luminous which will make easy reading under water. It also has a ten year battery. The watch seems great and I am very impressed and hope to get many years use out of it. And would recommend it as a good buy and a good dive watch. I hope that all that MTM say about this watch is true but seeing that the glass is not antireflective I will have to wait and see.
Written on: 06/02/2010
I found this review very helpful because...I bought the watch because of durability, especially because the face is supposed to be scratch resistant and anti-reflective. If this is not true then it is a disappointment.
