Product Description
The Field Ops watch includes our revolutionary SureShot calculator. In a partnership with Horus Vision, makers of proven long-range ballistic software, we give you the ability to input thirteen critical variables needed for long range shooting solutions quickly and easily. Shooting solutions are provided in Mils, True Minute of Angle (TMOA) and Shooter’s Minute of Angle (SMOA). We’ve beefed up the pins, sealed the watch for 1 meters of water resistance and given you a switchable backlight so you can see your data when you need it and turn the light off when you dont.The Field Ops Watch has all the features you’ll need for work and play. We’ve included digital day and date, and two digital time zones. Along with an audible alarm, there is an hourly chime, a countdown, timer and you can check your lap times with a digital chronograph. We’ve included an omni-directional bezel along with a backlight. The Field Ops Watch also has a fully functional digital compass which can be adjusted for true north readings. And last but not least, we’ve given you a full function ballistic calculator. The SureShot calculator accepts thirteen critical shooting variables to give you point of impact shooting solutions out to 1 meters. Input your known ballistic data (bore height, ballistic coefficient, muzzle velocity and zero range), then add your environmental data (range, temperature, altitude, inclination) and the SureShot calculator will give you a shooting solution in MILS, TMOA or SMOA. You can even get your solution in clicks for both windage and elevation. The calculator is very easy to use and most of the variables can be put into the Field Ops Watch before going out to the field. The Field Ops Watch has a high-density polycarbonate case which is lightweight and tough. The mineral glass crystal face is scratch resistant and reduces glare. We’ve included an extended length band so that you can wear your watch over outerwear or a glove.

I purchased this watch about 7 months ago, in the early part of my deployment to afghanistan. With the rough, and tough work I do this watch had no problem keeping up.. The Ballistic calculation option has really advanced my civilian shooting talent as well! I purchased a suunto as well, and well the suunto broke and the 5.11 is still on my wrist! Overall Best Watch I Have Ever Owned@!!!

I bought this watch as a gift for my husband who is a fireman in AZ. Prior to buying a watch, I researched several different makes and models. I settled on this one after reading reviews. The conditions where we live are harsh and the watch gets a lot of abuse. It holds up like a champion and is a really great choice for those who work in protective service. It also has a lot of fun options that really come in handy in the field. He gets a lot of compliments on the watch and always thanks me for it.
Update May 2013: The watch failed. Condensation was collecting as if there was a leak in the watch however the face and seal appear to be intact. The watch has never been under water, has never been bashed, banked, exposed to chemicals or mistreated in a way to cause a seal to fail. I called 5.11 tactical customer service who were not polite on the phone. They advised AMAZON IS NOT AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY WILL NOT COVER WATCHES SOLD BY AMAZON "because we don't knwo where they really came from.....". Also, watches that are over 2 years old (ours is 2 years 5 months!!) are no longer covered by warranty. Bottom line- a watch from target that was 1/4 the price has outlasted this watch. What a waste and poor customer service. Maybe these watches used to be made better or we simply got a defective piece. Either way, we are out about $200 and have a junk watch.

This watch looks great. The ergonomics on this watch are outstanding as well. However, the glass on the face of the watch is extremely cheap. After having the watch for only 1 week the face already has a scratch on it. This is not a hard use everyday watch. I have a casio with 2 years wear that has less damage. This should be a better watch for this price. do your self a favor and buy a G-shock.
