I recently got this watch, and all I can say is that it's everything I'd been looking for in a mid-range watch: Automatic, see-through back, sturdy, sapphire, excellent movement (Valjoux), and gorgeous. If I were bolder, I would compare it to a Breitling.

All-in-all, the best watch I've seen under $1000. I'm glad I have one.

I've owned a few Swiss Army watches over the years. They were all quartz watches and kept impeccable time. I even own a Rolex and it keeps fairly good time. This Swiss Army automatic watch keeps the best time of all. Automatics usually sacrifice a bit of accuracy for the convenience of never having to change a battery. I have owned a few autos in my time including the Rolex, a Tag Heuer, a Breitling, and a few less expensive ones.

This Swiss Army V25159 takes a back seat to none of them, in fact is the most accurate watch I own. It is built like a tank but is very stylish much like the Rolex and Breitling. One of the functions I was kind of surprised about was that the buttons for the chronograph and tachymeter had to be unscrewed to be used. At first I didn't think I'd like that but got used to it quickly and actually believe that the purpose is twofold- first to enhance the waterproof qualities and also you don't want the buttons pushed by accident like often happens on my Tag and Rolex.

I also love the band and clasp, which is very tasteful and different than any I've owned before. All in all I am very happy that I purchased this watch and use it daily. I can't remember a day that I didn't get at least someone commenting on how much they like it.

The price may seem a bit steep but not for what you are getting. If I compare it to my Rolex or Breitling it stacks up great for about a 1/6th of the cost. A real steal!
