Got my Majetek a week before Christmas, it's now mid-May and I've found it hard to wear anything else (and I've quite an extensive collection, including Omega, Sinn, Seiko etc) . 

Legibility at a glance is superb with the small seconds out of the way. 

The old radium style lume can be divisive, but I'm definitely a fauxtina fan - I'd seriously considered a Vertex , but I'm more of an aviation buff and love the case shape of the Longines.  The extra functionality of the internal marker , activated by the grippy and handsome bezel. 

Timekeeping has been outstanding, easily on par with my Coaxial Seamaster 300 , running consistently at around +2" per day. Truly amazing! 

 Mine came on a green leather strap, which went straight back in the box - probably a good strap, but I've been veggie since 1982 so don't wear it. Works beautifully on a NATO or mesh . (I sometimes wear it on a Bonklip,but canvas is my preference) 

I don't baby my watches, it's been worn on motorcycles, gardening, cleaning drains , funerals and for work. It's shrugged off everything thrown at it with no problems. 

Completely biased review, I'm still besotted and can't give a dispassionate review - I Love it!
