KASTAR Arabic-Numeral Quartz Field Watch with Nylon Strap
Built for quick reading, this KASTAR quartz field watch pairs oversized Arabic numerals with a practical date window and a casual nylon strap. Six dial and strap combinations, across high-contrast 24-hour, luminous, and green-dial configurations.
Why It Stands Out
- Oversized Arabic numerals are the whole point of a field watch. You read the time in a glance instead of decoding markers.
- The 24-hour track on the black-dial versions is genuinely useful if you deal in military or shift time rather than doing the maths each time.
- A date window keeps it practical for daily wear, not just a time-only novelty.
- Nylon strap, so it is light, it washes, and it cinches to any wrist.
- Six dial and nylon combinations at one price, including a luminous dial for low light and a green dial if you want colour.

Fit and Wear
The nylon strap gives it a casual everyday feel and adjusts to any wrist, so this is an easy watch to hand to someone without knowing their size. The high-contrast numerals make the dial easy to read at a glance, which is what you want when you are checking the time with your hands full. The green dial and green nylon lean outdoors. The black-on-black is the plainest and the easiest to wear with anything.
Colin's Take
This is a beater and it should be priced and treated like one. The crystal is resin, not mineral or sapphire, so it will pick up marks. That is the trade you are making for a watch you can throw in a bag, wear in the garden, and not care about. What it does well is the thing field watches are for: you look down and you know the time immediately. Take the luminous black dial if it is your only one. Skip it if you want something that still looks sharp in a year.
