Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Add a sporty edge to your professional and casual couture with the Swatch Windfall men's chronograph watch, which offers a classic design and silver/black coloring. The brushed aluminum case is topped by a black-plated bezel with tachymeter readings in white, which can be used to measure time over distance. The gunmetal dial face includes three black chrono subdials (enabling you to time events down to 1/10 of a second), stylized skeleton hands with seconds hand and luminous tips, white stick hour markers, and small minute indexes around the outer edge. The aluminum bracelet band has a brushed finish and center links covered by black plastic plackets. Other features include precise Swiss quartz movement, date window at 4 o'clock, and water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet)--enabling it to withstand splashes and snowspray, but not suitable for swimming.

Swatch Chronograph
A Swatch Chrono watch includes a stopwatch mechanism, which makes it possible to measure and record short times. By clicking on the push buttons, the hands of the chronograph (seconds, minutes, hours) can be started, stopped, or reset to zero.

About Swatch
In the mid 1970s, the Swiss watch industry was in the midst of its worst ever crisis after facing stiff competition from Japanese-made brands. The Swatch brand was launched in 1983 with the original Swatch quartz watch, a slim plastic timepiece with only 51 components that combined top quality with a highly affordable price. Today, after sales of over 200 million watches, the Swatch Group has grown to include brands such as Omega, Longines, Rado, Mido, and Pierre Balmain as well as the original Swatch brand. The name "Swatch" is often misconstrued as a contraction of the words "Swiss Watch," but Nicolas Hayek, Chairman of the Swatch Group, affirms that the original contraction was "Second Watch."

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Watch, November 29, 2006

I learned about this watch in an issue of Money Magazine where an article compared luxury label items to similar quality items that cost much less. In this case it was noted that Swatch owns the high end watch brand Omega, and that the Swatch Windfall looks almost identical to the $3000.00 Omega Speedmaster.

I agree, it is a very handsome watch and I have received numerous compliments on its good looks. It looks many times more expensive than the $100.00 I paid for it. If you don't require the cachet of a high end label then I highly recommend this watch.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good looking watch, but band can break., December 6, 2009

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Swatch Men's YCS410GX Windfall Chronograph Watch (Watch)

I have own this watch since 2006. It is a good looking watch, but I have the plastic part of the wrist band broken twice now. I had it fixed twice by replacing sections of the band. Now, it has broken again. I won't have it fix any more since it will just be breaking again in about another year's time. I suggest you should consider a watch with stronger wrist band that's made with all metal parts. The plastic is just not good enough. I think it is a bad design on swatch's part.

Received as a gift; looks nice, matches anything; feels nice and heavy, crystal seems to resist scratching, although I have somehow managed to scratch the case slightly over two months of wear. All features work as advertised.
