I've bought a few watches on Amazon for the past few years and they've (except for one mechanical watch) been high quality, low cost, stylish, and very satisfying to wear. I'd say this continues that trend. Swiss watches are well designed, have quality mechanisms, and give you the feeling you could afford one of those $5000 models (sure!) but don't need one just at this moment. Maybe later.
Feels solid, strong wristband, easy to set and with a solid feel to the setting mechanism. Hands glow. No nonsense, simple, not a bad buy! Recommended. Wenger Swiss Military Men's 62910-16908 Classic Field Brown Leather Watch and Swiss Army Knife Gift Set
I received this watch about a week ago and it stopped running that day. I reset the time and the next morning, it was 2 hours slow. I promptly sent it back to Amazon via UPS (no charge). I received full credit for the watch. I am very pleased with Amazon's return policy and prompt credit. As far as this watch goes, it is very sharp though larger than I thought it would be. I wish there was a quality check on the watch before it was shipped, probably had a bad battery.
I bought this watch because it looks very good and also benefits from a good basic swiss mechanism. It stays and feels perfect on the wrist, solid construction, leather strap well made. The report between features like date, water resistant and price is very good. I was impressed by the box in which it came, ideal for a gift. The swiss army knife is nice to have, but for me it didn't count on the decision of buying this watch. In conclusion, a good value for money for a watch from a swiss company with tradition.
I am only giving this one star because there is not an option for zero (OR NEGATIVE) stars!! I saw this watch in a dept. store and my husband liked the look of it, so I purchased it for him on Amazon.com for his birthday (it was offered on Amazon as a set with a small pocket knife for the same price as just the watch in the store).
Immediately upon opening the box, the watch DID NOT RUN. I assumed it was just a dead battery and took the watch to a local jeweler, who informed me that if they opened the case, it would void my warranty, so I called the NY 1-800# for Wenger which only added to my frustration. First, I was informed (in broken English) that I would be responsible for the shipping charges (both ways!) and, only after I asked to speak to a supervisor, was "credited" return shipping only, I STILL had to pay to ship my BRAND NEW WATCH for repair! Second, I shipped the watch on July 12 from NC to NY and was told on July 26 that they had "just received the watch yesterday" (two weeks in transit, REALLY?) and that it would be THREE TO SIX WEEKS to repair the watch!!! You have GOT to be kidding me! It literally takes 5 minutes -if that- to change a battery and I have to wait UP TO SIX WEEKS??? O M G, am I not happy with this company. I would just return it, but by the time I get it back, it will be too late, so now I'm stuck with it. (Happy Birthday, Honey! I know your birthday was in June, but maybe you'll get to wear your gift by Thanksgiving!!) Nice. Really.
BTW...I don't feel this is AMAZON's fault, as I have had many very positive buying experiences with them and I LOVE free super saver shipping,so buy from Amazon, just buy a different watch!
Bought this watch for $79.99 and think it's probably still a good value at current asking price of $104.99 with swiss movement, stainless case, mineral crystal and relatively nice leather band. Usually need a long band for watches so was pleasantly surprised that band fit nicely. In sum, watch delivered what was promised and a little more. Accompanying knife has limited utility but is handy for cutting a stray thread, filing a sharp corner off a fingernail and other such small jobs.
The watch came in a beautiful case. Its also a beautiful watch, good finish. The strap is a bit paler than it looks in the picture, though. The Swiss Army Knife is also well-crafted, it's best as a keyholder or something like that. It has only three functions (scissors, knife, and nail file), so don't expect much. - Kindle Devices - E-reader - Ebook - Webos'
