CONCLUSION

   I've always believed that it's good for all consumers to see new players in the market since that means more competition and more competition automatically results to lower prices. What's even better however is when a new player emerges and manages to release products that have no problem going up against similar ones by the leading manufacturers in the field in terms of quality, features and performance. Well this is exactly what Caterpillar has managed and although the REEF is far from being their top watch model we are very satisfied with it since it combines a nice design with a very good level of quality and a good number of features such as 20ATM/200m water resistance, a very comfortable rubber strap and plenty of luminous material for night use. On top of all that the REEF is currently available in 7 different color combinations the remaining six of which are showcased above (you can check them all over at www.catwatches.com).

   Unfortunately much like most brand new products the availability of the REEF D5.163.21.127 is currently low and thus we can only list the recommended price tag which is set at USD270/210Euros. Normally this would be just a tad high for what the REEF offers but lucky for us the end consumer recommended price tags never really make it to retail and so you can expect to find the REEF for quite a bit less in the following months (especially when availability becomes good). Personally i think that Caterpillar has a very good line of watches with very good build quality and range of features and if they are any indication of what's to come it won't be long before they catch up to the leading manufacturers. Bottom line for its design, very good build quality and features the REEF D5.163.21.127 gets our Golden Award.
