Sunday, February 6, 2011 Victorinox Swiss Army Chrono Classic Mens Watch V.241148 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)To begin with, let me admit that I'm a bit new to the mid-priced market for watches (I own two Citizen 8700 Eco-Drive Watches as well.), so keep this in mind as you read my review.I've owned this watch for more than 9 months now and would say that it is just about perfect.Here's the nitty gritty:

Pros:
* Sapphire crystal: I now know it's a necessity, not just a feature. My crystal looks like it did the day I bought the watch.
* Excellent, nearly flawless styling
* Strong, durable bracelet and housing
* Does a satisfactory job of keeping time

Cons:
* Would have preferred a screw-down crown
* Day of month needs to be adjusted for those months with fewer than 31 days.
* The main second sweep hand functions as the second marker for the chronograph rather than for time-keeping -That is left to the lower-middle dial (I realize this may be common for this type of watches, but I still don't like this feature.).
