Reviewing: Android Men's AD554BR Powerjet 9100 Automatic Power Reserve WatchThis Android Men's AD554BR Powerjet 9100 Automatic watch is, for the most part, well made. I come from a tradition of collecting medium-to-high-end Swiss Made, German Made, and Italian Made watches. For me, this Android is the first Japanese movement and first watch assembled outside of Europe (it's assembled in Hong Kong as I understand it) to appear in my collection. Overall, the watch scores points for its tank-like build and high degree of water resistance. I wanted just such a watch for "everyday life" that I did not wish to subject to my watches worth $10K or more. This Android fits the bill of a "workhorse" for me. It kept accurate of time to +/- 1.0 second per 24 hours when it was brand new, and it only seems to be getting better the more I break it in and use it! It's approaching +/- 1.0 second per week. Wow ... love it! The Japanese-made Miyota 9100 is a highly-respected movement, and is the engine for this Android AD554BR Powerjet 9100 Automatic. The watch is truly well-built, and I recommend it on this "build" basis and the movement without hesitation or reservation.
One area where I feel that the engineering is sub-par is the crown and crown post. When the screw-down crown is unscrewed, the oversized crown is a monster sitting on a small, rather thin and unstable "feeling" crown post. I would have liked the crown post to have been thicker and more stabilised, with a metal crown topped on the post with authority and substantial build quality. If you are careful, however, I am sure that the crown and post will serve you well for many, many years to-come. I wish this model came with the tritium T100-based tubes for nocturnal illumination. The Superlumniova (SLN) will have to do for now. All of my tactical/militarised watches with tritium light sources from mb-microtec absolutely rock, and I kind of think of this Powerject 9100 as a "sort-of" militarised watch given its heft, although the shiny metal removes "stealth" from the checklist of tactical load-outs and going dark in a deep-cover direct-action operator role. That's why God made Tawatec and Lumi-Nox for me.
IN SUMMARY, what a nice watch! 4/5 stars! Highly recommended.
Pros: (Many)
-Professional look
-Big watch / excellent heft
-SLN
-Built like a freaking tank
-Extremely accurate and only getting better!
Cons:
-Weak feeling crown and crown post
-Mineral Crystal instead of Sapphire
-Wish it had tritium tubes
Don't let these "cons" scare you or keep you from buying this watch. I love my Swiss Made, and other Euro-made pristinely-engineered watches, but this Android has definitely won me over to at least trying, and liking, a watch with a Japanese movement made in Hong Kong! I feel very international with my watch collection now! Good luck everyone. Get this watch. :-)
