Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Featuring a bold black-and-white color scheme, the Men's Commando Chrono Watch combines sporty style with a myriad of great features. It also bears a pedigree: Swiss company Wenger was one of the original manufacturers of the Swiss army knife in 1908. Three chronograph subdials populate the black dial, along with a date window at the four o'clock position. Encircling the dial, the black bezel doubles as a tachymeter. The watch is tough enough for all your outdoor adventures (though still stylish enough for everyday wear) with a stainless steel case, a hardy mineral crystal, and water resistance to 330 feet (100 meters).

This review is from: Wenger Men's 70890 Swiss Raid Commando Patagonian Expedition Race Watch (Watch)

Received this watch a couple weeks ago. I mainly wear as a casual-sport watch. And I got it at a pretty nice price -just around 200..IT's heavy and well built, very sturdy in feel and appearance. It's big, but not unreasonably so as to draw unwanted or unecessary attention to it. The band is a fairly thick, durable silicone and works ok with this watch. The band, if hot outside, does seem to grab a bit on your skin and stick after wearing it for several hours, but it's apparent durability and resistance to the elements makes up for this (it's moisture/sweat resistant). But these are just minor issues and certainly not deal-breakers. The watch is also easy to operate and not too complicated to be practical at keeping chrono time. This is a 'man-watch'...understated, solid, strong, and it makes a bit of a statement, the right kind of statement for any guy who's not into "jewelry", but demands a solid, good looking timepiece. Overall happy with this purchase. Delivery was fairly prompt and I received it in brand new condition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Watch, March 25, 2011

I would agree with the other posters as far as quality and watch construction, it's good and solid. The poster who talked about dust clinging to the band was dead on. I received my watch yesterday, love the look and feel but the band collects dust, fuzz and other fine particles like crazy and it's a little annoying. I'm sure if I run it under water it will be perfectly clean again but it won't stay that way very long. Other than that I love the watch. If Wenger makes other bands for this watch I may look into that option.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but somewhat fussy, February 11, 2010

After a years wear and use of this watch, I have come back to update this review, and am raising the rating from 3 to 4 stars.

Overall it is very well built and a good product, and it keeps excellent time. It is a fairly heavy watch - you know you are wearing it; it is just a bit too fussy / cluttered in the watch face which can make reading it difficult at times (especially in low light). It has proved to be a great watch, very sturdy and well made. The watch maker says it is waterproof to a 100 meters, but got to wonder with no screw crown - I have now used this in the water and no problems - so well done Wenger.

On the positive side, its a solid well made watch, keeps good time and is comfy to wear with its rubber silicone strap, which will fit most wrists (especially larger wrists).

Would I recommend it, yes if you can afford it, its not 'top dollar' but its not cheap either, and there are lots of watches out there that will do the job equally well. That said, I am wearing it and I have grown to like the watch a lot more over the past years! Overall I will give the watch a 4 out of 5.
