4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice clean appearance; Overall a nice watch, April 8, 2010
This is a great everyday watch with a clean appearance and is easy to read. I purchased this watch to wear to work b/c some clients take the type of watch I wear into consideration in making a decision on accepting or declining a proposal (sad but true). My "pride & joy" is a Rolex Submariner model 16610 -- a true classic timepiece that is not overly flashy.. one in which I LOVE wearing. And my other watch is an all stainless steel Timex Chrono which doesn't look like a Timex until you read the name printed on the dial.
So in my quest to reach a happy medium b/w Timex & Rolex, this is the watch I chose. I wanted a watch that looked classy & sophistocated without someone else knowing how much I spent on it (on either end of the spectrum). I also considered Tissot & Tag but being nit-picky about appearances, I didn't like how Tissot puts the letter "T" on their second hand & at the time I couldn't find a Tag with a blue face that I found appealing. One could definitely argue that this is not the watch of watches but for a reason I can't explain, this one had the "it" factor.
One thing that is a huge disappointment for me is the crown is not the screws down type, which is why I rated it with 4 stars. Even my inexpensive $60 Timex has a screw down crown. I'm very disappointed that a watch that retails for $495 (although you can get this model for <$300 online) did not have that feature.
Pros: Nice styling; The blue color is REALLY cool looking; Comfortable to wear. Even though the crown is not the screw down type (VERY DISAPPOINTING), it does have "shoulders" above & below the crown. Swiss Made. Does not "tick" very loudly. Not overly shiny. Scratch resistant sapphire crystal.
Cons: NO SCREW DOWN CROWN!!! You may also want to be aware that the bezel is aluminum, not stainless. The band is nice however I'm a little nervous about the "deployment" clasp. I've previously owned a Movado that had a similar type clasp that didn't work worth a darn but this one has a latch & the Movado didn't. Hopefully this one will work better!

Gorgeous and well-built..., November 6, 2008
This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Men's 241120 Classic Chronograph Blue Dial Watch (Watch)
This watch is the perfect shade of blue. Quartz accuracy means no winding or wrist movement required. Wrist band is rugged, handsome, and comfortable.

Very nice watch...great value, April 21, 2011
This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Men's 241120 Classic Chronograph Blue Dial Watch (Watch)
I tried this watch on at my local department store and it was very nice. Made the purchase on Amazon for around $225 less, and the watch is exactly what I expected. Very nice packaging as well from Swiss Army. The watch has a nice weight, and the dial isn't too large. Quality is excellent, and I've had it for about a month or so now and the time is still completely accurate. I definitely feel it deserves five stars...Swiss Army makes incredible watches with a great warranty.
