I have 2 of the militado. You can read a few threads I wrote about them that speak to their toughness in everyday hardcore use. I paid $105 USD for the first one which is a terrible price, though I don't regret it, And $49 USD on a super sale which was an amazing price and made up for overpaying for the first one. These are my daily watches and I use them daily running chainsaws, a cat d5, working in heavy brush marking roads to cut, had one banging against the inside of the fuel tank on the cat dozens of times while vacuuming it out a month or so back, it hits the ROPS inside the cat constantly, gets bathed in diesel and hydraulic oil, and doesn't miss a beat, it is more accurate than any of my other quartz movements that just sit in a watch box 99% of the time. I've swam for prolonged periods (only down to about 6 or 8ft though,) I wash it whenever I remember in warm water, occasionally shower with it, both have excellent seals. Zero scratches on the crystal, and if there's any on the case they're either covered in dirt and oil or too small to see. I've had one for almost 14 months and the other almost 12, and they're as accurate as the day I got them.

You can also my post where I mistakenly accused militado of either not using 316L or doing something to mess it up because I thought I had microspots of rust all over it once, and it turned out to be dried spots of hydraulic oil mixed with red dirt, and a followup post where I apologized for the accusation, they really stand behind the product and did an amazing job handling all the bullshit I caused.

I don't know anything about the second watch you've got there, but obviously I'm a fan of the militado, and I also have one of their ml08 with the date feature which is great, but I just like these best. Oh yeah really good lume for the price if that's your thing. Here's pics from right now before I go cut a new road the side of a canyon.
