How ya doing, spetzie?

Speaking for myself, I don't have any problems giving Victorinox the okay. I can't find anybody who has had a bad one. Their prices seem to be a little jumpy, so look around to make sure you're getting the best price.

The only things I have against this particular model are: (1) the push buttons do not screw-down. This is why it is only water resistant to 100M.
(2) That is a little more expensive than I am comfortable paying for a quartz watch. Again, this is only MY opinion!!!

If these two nitpicks are not that important to you, go for it. A watch that you personally like is the best one to get.

The brand is very unique and has a lot of followers here.

To me this watch is waaaay too much for a quartz watch without a bracelet.

I thought that it may have been pretty expensive for that kind of thing. Still i like their watches and i have found a few that i like so i might see what else there is that might be mechanical. thanks again for your answers.

I've heard good things about the brand and have seen many nice watches. Check a couple forum sponsors for better pricing and shop around. That price is way high. They also have a nice selection of mechanicals worth a look.
