Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First - this is an excellent watch, solid, well made and works as a dress watch and a sports watch. It's a mechanical but the movement is pretty reliable and it stays within about 10s and seems to run a little faster some days and slower others - but I knew this would be the case before I bought it and the pleasure of wearing a mechanical more than out weighs the loss in precision.

Second - I spent a long time shopping around for watches and I had set my hopes on a mechanical, or automatic watch. Unfortunately they were all out of my price range until Ichecked here. I bought mine direct from Amazon, but still had some concerns because it was several hundred dollars cheaper than the best price I could get from a watchmaker. There's no such thing as a free lunch (especially in online watch sales) and the drawback is that as Amazon is not an official vendor for Swiss Army watches as a result Swiss Army will not honour the warranty. Amazon are honest about this and have their own watch warranty, at least for US purchasers, that replaces the manufacturers one. If you are buying this from a vendor other than Amazon and are concerned about the warranty keep this in mind.
