I purchased a watch that was advertised as 'BRAND NEW with original packaging and manufacturer's warranty'. The watch failed after less than two months. There is no way to call or e-mail Time Zone Plus directly - and no website. And to try to contact Time Zone Plus through Amazon has been useless. My only other option is to go through the watch manufacturer for the warranty work, but it costs money to send the watch in, and they require that the seller be an authorized dealer in order to do the warranty work. Is Time Zone Plus and authorized dealer? I wish I knew the answer, but it's impossible to reach them.

I bought this for a woman actually serving in the military in Afghanistan and she, so far, said it was perfect for the task and loves it. We'll see how it holds up.

Swiss Army Women's Renegade watch #24229 is an excellent and elegant watch that combines the ruggedness and practicality in a women's watch. It is also fairly priced. Good choice for young and active individuals who want a quality watch.

I always wanted a Swiss Army watch! I was eagerly awaiting it's arrival, then it came. The watch does keep the time and date accurately and it is a nice looking watch but I am majorly disappointed in the luminous hands. This watch has NO light, use it in sun and it's suppose to glow with the luminous hands. WRONG, tried several ways to "charge" the glow with no luck. Maybe glows for an hour after being out in sun all day or under a lamp all night. $100.00 bucks for a world famous watch is not a bad deal, but come on, at least do what it should, right?? Watch is useless in the dark!! Guess you have to pay extra for a Swiss army light! I didn't think I'd miss the light, but yes, I do, A LOT!!

After more use in hiking and active activities, the face has gotten a deep scratch very easily. The rubber band tightens with hot conditions, and sometimes the locking pin stands straight up, and the rubber "belt that keeps the strap down slides down frequently.

Sadly I have noticed a lot of poor quality in women's active type things, watches, shoes, shorts, they don't seem to think women are as active or as tough as men? Women's gear needs a step up!
I also like a lot of pockets in my shorts- less to carry in my pack. I like tough comfortable shoes that last. And I would love a women's watch that offers us temp., compass as well as time, date and my missing light! Oh one last thing, not all women like short shorts in the woods, it's not a fashion show it's the woods! Comfort, protection, and usefulness are my top picks.

UPDATE: used at home washed my hands with it on, got a little water on it, face is completely covered in fog under face piece! If it's so water resistant wash hands should not be a problem. Still waiting for fog to dry up, face all cloudy. Total disappointment!!! 2 months old, and complete junk! This is not for an outdoor active woman. Maybe if you sit still with it on it will work, but don't get it wet. Seller states that condensations is normal and it will dry out, so?? can't use it outside then? anytime it's humid out it will cloud over so bad you can read the time? None of my other water resistant watch do this. NONE, this is junk, period.

I owned another victorinox watch that I purchased about 7-8 years ago. It just stopped working recently and the jeweler said it would be cheaper to buy a new watch than to repair it. I was disappointed because I thought these watches should last forever. Nevertheless when looking for a replacement I could not find anything that suited me better than this watch - I have a very small wrist and the look, feel and fit of this watch is perfect. I bought the watch from Nordstrom's for $130. The strap makes the watch feel like it is worth less. At $80-90 this watch is more appropriately priced. For all those who are unsure, go try on the watch at the department store but save some money and buy it from Amazon.
