⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Dial and Bronze Case - Jamie on August 3, 2023
Recently received my Kursk, green dial model. The dial texturing and markers are my favorite feature. The watch is solid quality all around and I've not experienced issues at all with its function and time keeping. Bronze cases offer a unique experience of watching the material "age" and develop further character. I look forward to watching this process continue over coming years.
Although comfortable, I did swap out the leather strap for a forest green rubber strap (personal preference for rubber straps).
Reference: I have a 7-3/4" wrist.

I was surprised at how much I liked it directly out of the box. It wore comfortable for its heafty size. The strap was supple and soft, instantly forming to my wrist. The dial has loads of texture and depth. Can't wait to see the patina develop.

Cette montre étanche 200m avec son boîtier bronze est parfaite. Le verre saphir sublime ce cadran vert look vintage. Les index California mode sont parfaits même sous l’eau. Le bracelet de 24mm est en vrai beau cuir. Je lui ai mis un rubber vert fluo camouflage pour qu’elle soit tout le temps dans l’eau. Superbe montre

For starters - being from the motherland the name of the watch caught my eye. And boy, am i glad it did. This watch is awesome. I went with green face option. California dial looks really good on this big watch, and it is big. But tasteful big, not bulky. Bronze case is promising to get a beautiful patina with some use, so cant wait for that. The lume on this watch is insane, with the markers and numbers being large it stands out, hands are great size for the watch. I love the automatic movement with a exhibition back to see the movement. Having a proven workhorse from Miyota is a big plus for this beautiful piece. Leather band - it is supple and soft, in contrast to a hefty weight of the watch the band feels and looks really nice, clasp is big with a name stamped on it. Date window is tiny bit small for my taste but it is legible and does not take away from my overall satisfaction with the piece. Shipping was fast, received the watch in the promised time, packed nicely. I have been wearing this watch nonstop for about 5 days now, it keeps time perfectly so far, i have not gained on lost any measurable amount, so i am very satisfied with the accuracy of the movement. Now there are few contenders out there in this price range and finish, but I loved the combination of everything you get with Kursk, the movement, the case size and material, the leather strap - whole package just works. So if you are in the market (and there is a reason you are reading this) give this a look.

Can’t stop wearing this bronze beauty... love everything about the watch, from size, wearability, and overall aesthetics! Highly recommend this watch if you’re looking for a solid bronzo!

I won this watch in a giveaway. I was looking at getting one anyway and got lucky. I have to say after wearing it for a week now I would be happy to have paid more than the asking price. It’s very well made and feels great on the wrist. It’s stylish and I have had a lot of comments from people asking where I got it. A great watch for someone wanting to add something a little different in there collection.

I’ve not had this too long but it’s definitely comfortable to wear, even with skinny wrists and a 45mm case diameter. The strap aids the comfort and is hand stitched. The bronze case is already starting to patina, only after a week! There’s a slight colour variation between the case which is bronze and the buckle, screw down crown and case back, which are antiques stainless steel, but you’re rarely ever going to see them all at once anyway, and I heard from somewhere that it’s not very healthy to have something that patinates in direct contact with skin for prolonged periods of time.
On the note of screw down crown, the watch is rated to 200m water resistance though I haven’t been brave enough to test that since this is the most expensive watch in my possession...
The bezel does rotate, although since it’s unmarked, it serves its use as fidget factor and not much else. I get the idea behind the design, what with the rivets looking like a hatch, but that could have been a nice addition, in my opinion.
The lumed markers with a California dial is easy to read and I had no problem reading it through the domed sapphire crystal lens during our super sunny heatwave last week. The one time I looked at my watch in the dark, the lumes were still charged so I was able to see what ungodly time I woke up at.
Overall, I like this watch a lot and has quickly become my favourite everyday watch. That being said, the price at $600 could be a bit of a turn off for a lot of people.

I dig this bold, bronze diver. The dial and lume are excellent and it’s a perfect model for the beefy leather and canvas straps in my collection. Thanks to the wire lugs, it wears remarkably well for such a large watch.
Got the Stalingrad Kursk bronze with black bezel last week. Very impressed so far by this piece. Love the Cali dial and applied indices. It’s built is very solid and the convenience of changing straps is made easier with the quick release. Even the lume is outstanding. It has been such a joy wearing it so far and really comfortable on the wrist. Highly recommended for sure. Keep up the great work guys. 👍🏼

I recently added this Stalingrad Kursk bronze beauty to my collection and I must say it is beyond excellent! The build quality is superb and flawless! The level of comfort is fantastic and offers such a commanding presence on the wrist. I am very excited about this brand and look forward to trying other models they have to offer. What can I say? I’m a fan and highly recommend Stalingrad to every watch collector and enthusiast!
Excellent watch, really good looking and elegant for a diver watch. The case doesn't feel as big as it is and the watch wears pretty comfortably. The leather strap is very good too and the domed cristal makes it look even better. The sieko movement is very smooth and durable. The only thing that could be improved is the box it comes in. Altogether an excelent watch.

Sono molto soddisfatto dell'orologio: ben costruito e comodo al mio polso. Piacevole è il movimento al quarzo, con la lancetta dei secondi che si muove quasi come un movimento automatico. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo, consigliato.
The ad for the IRON WILL popped up on my Facebook feed and I was intrigued. First off, it is good looking. Second was the price point. I decided to give it a try. Sold Out! Oh well. But I left an email and about two days later received notification that it was in stock and I placed my order. The watch arrived about two weeks later and I am glad I did. It is a smart looking watch, very clean. The dial is easy to read. I replaced the leather strap with a lighter NATO strap for summer. The watch keeps excellent time and I have received numerous compliments on how sharp it looks. l am very pleased with the purchase.
This watch immediately caught my attention with it's incredibly sleek design - the dial, markers and hands make this watch very easy to read. The sweeping seconds hand is distinct and runs relatively smooth. The cream colored markers are attractive and give off a patina vibe. Initially, I was under the impression that the bezel action was damaged as I had difficulty turning it, but I learned that it requires the slightest touch to turn...zero downward force.
The case wears comfortably at 43mm (7.2 inch wrist) and the leather strap is supple, breaking in quite nicely.
Whether you are looking for an entry level watch or looking to add an every day watch to your collection...definitely consider this offering.
You are getting a pretty decent value at it's price point.
First impression when I took IRON WILL in my hands was that it's surprisingly good watch for this price range. Great quality of finnishing and lots of details such as sweep second, applied and fully lumed indexes, fine leather strap and the best bezel as I have ever rotating. All of this combined with a great look gives a really nice but affordable watch.

After unboxing, I immediately noticed the many small but fine accents. For example the star on the dial, the engraved logo on the clasp and the back of the case and that the stitches on the leather strap were handmade. The entire watch made an extremely high-quality and rock-solid impression for a price of 150 €.
That hasn't changed after many weeks that I have been wearing the watch every day. The leather strap has become softer over time and has started to patina. In the meantime it has adapted perfectly to my wrist so that it is comfortable and almost imperceptible to wear.
According to the manufacturer, the watch is waterproof up to 100m. I will probably never test this because I am more of a normal watch wearer and not a diver.
However, I have to add one small negative point. I had the problem several times that the adjustment wheel opened and the clock stopped until I noticed that the time was no longer correct. I did not have this problem with my previous watches in normal everyday life.
In addition to this point, I am completely satisfied with the watch and would immediately recommend it to anyone who wants a really well-made, good-looking and affordable watch.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ STALINGRAD IRON WILL - Jesús García on Aug 27, 2020
I got this amazing watch, the quality it unbeatable, Wears exceptionally well and being the quartz movement looks different than the others on the market.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ IRON WILL - KingSinista13 on Jun 18, 2020
Gorgeous piece and definitely a looker. Wears exceptionally well and being a quartz movement, makes it the perfect grab n go watch!
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Unique style, great value - Nick on Jun 02, 2020
The grenade has a very unique style, like a WW1 trench watch, but with a modern dial. The legibility with the white hands is fantastic, and who doesn't love a sandwich dial? It's a great alternative to some of the typical watches in the price range if you are looking for a unique and bold look!
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Red Army worthy Isaiah Matos on Aug 04, 2020
I own over 30 watches, it is exceedingly rare that I get a delivery and a watch shoots to the top of my favorite, but the grenade did just that. I have a preference for old style field watches, I like the vintage style and quiet ruggedness of the style, and the grenade does not disappoint. The sandwich casing painted with a "worn" look makes it look like a true heirloom piece. There are small details that really stand out, the "red star" on the watch crown and the black counterweight with the company logo striking a view through the caseback window come to mind. The like on the face is bright like my old glow in the dark toys from the 80's which was quite surprising. And the cordura strap is impressive. I typically prefer a NATO strap but now I'm hoping Stalingrad will offer the cordura strap as a stand alone product. All and all this is a great watch that can act as a statement piece or EDC. Or both.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Great vibes - Jamie on Oct 22, 2020
Standout features are the sandwich dial and handset. They work great with the overall theme of the watch. Wish it had a screwdown crown. Otherwise, very cool.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Great watch - Christopher Chia on Jun 18, 2020
Have been wearing this watch for the past week. Everything is working as it should be. Love the military vibe on this piece. The size is just right. As the watch came with 2 straps, I can change the look and feel of the watch just by changing straps. A great watch overall.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ A very good surprise ! - Dominique on Jul 24, 2020
i love the neo vintage look of this watch. It reminds me of WW2 soldiers' watches with their very specific horns! But it is very easy to change the strap among the 2 sold with the watch. Rare for this price range !
Great features with a Miyota movement from Citizen Group, sandwich dial and nice colors for a military watch !
It's my first Stalingrad watch but not the last !!!!
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Volga Defender - KingSinista13 on Jun 18, 2020
Certified AWESOME, from the size to wrist presence, the Volga Defender will have you looking at your wrist more often than not!
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ The affordable “Volga Defender” - Philipp on Jun 04, 2020
What can I say friends... Nice and clean case finish / Ceramic bezel / sapphire crystal and a solid movement! Well... That’s the “Volga Defender” :-) if you’re looking for an affordable dive watch with all these specs - you’ll love this beauty here :)
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ A fantastic watch that fits well in any collection - Steve on Jun 17, 2020
I've had the pleasure of rotating this watch in my collection for a few months and must say... it's just absolutely fantastic! Solid unidirectional bezel, easy to read dial (incredible lume) and wears very comfortably on the wrist (7.2 inch).
The styling cues are Spot on if you are looking for something rugged and easy to pair with denim and boots. The antique brass finish adds a nice vintage vibe to complete the watch.
Definitely consider this watch if you are looking for a solid mid-range diver. Great quality and design!
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Great Every Day Watch - Blair Witkowski on Jun 17, 2020
Great looking watch! Very happy and impressed with the quality. I get a lot of compliments and my kids take it to wear themselves.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Great colors and great value! - Nick on Sep 11, 2020
At $195 ($170 for models with silver case), the Trooper is priced in the same range as fashion chronographs that you might find at the mall. The difference is that this is a watch made by watch lovers, for watch lovers. Unlike the fashion watches, the hands and sub-dials are proportioned properly. It has great lume, AR on the crystal, and even a Cordura strap. I wish I had started out my watch collecting hobby with a watch like this, rather than a few of the pieces that I've owned.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Something different but.
This robust case in combination with the detailed dial makes a lot of fun.
The leather strap fits perfectly and feels great on the wrist.
