I expected much better quality
I paid $80 for this and I have to say I'm really disappointed with the quality.
The main problem is the case. The cover hinge has a lot of play in it. When closed it shifts and clicks when you handle it. When open it flops around. It doesn't seem to be broken or tweaked in any way that's just the fit.
The crown adjustment seems unsure too. You need to play with it to get the stem in the right position to adjust the time and date- feels loose and notchy.
The chain and loop around the crown are very light and cheap feeling.

Beautiful watch!
I love this watch. It was an anniversary gift for my husband - and he is actually proud to own it - he likes to show it off!! It's fun to open it and see the inside workings of the watch. It's very attractive - oh and it keeps accurate time too!

What a great watch
The watch lay in hiding in my underwear drawer for almost 6 weeks. When my Mr. Wonderful opened it Christmas morning he was thrilled: much more thrilled that I expected. The watch runs perfectly. The store shipped perfectly. I am perfectly pleased.

we've started a new tradition
I bought this watch as a birthday present for my boyfriend knowing it was something he wanted more than needed. He absolutely loved it he wears it often and makes it a point to show it to our friends and family. He even decided that it would be the perfect start to a new collection. It was a great choice for us as he loves exposed gears and working parts. The only thing that could have made it better would have been an engraved personal message but there didn't appear to be a good spot for that. Not a big deal though.

Awesome Watch!
I bought this for my husband for our 4th wedding anniversary. I did a lot of shopping around before I settled on this one. He really wanted a skeleton pocket watch and he wanted a lot of the watch's mechanisms exposed. This watch seemed to foot that bill without costing the over $500 the ones we were looking at cost. I have to say this watch is much nicer in person. My husband was so impressed and absolutely loves it! It is a very nice size everything is so pleasing to the eye and the construction looks very solid. Now we've only had this for a short time so I can't comment on its lasting quality but it does come with a limited lifetime warranty which is reassuring. This is truly a beautiful watch and worth every penny.

Swiss Army Forever!
i bought this watch over three & a half years ago & have just today had a new battery installed! If you like pocket watchesyou can't go wrong with this one. The only reason i didn't give it a 5 star is because if the month has any thing else besides 31 day's you must set the date manuelly! The watch keeps very good time as a good watch should. I got a very good price from Amazon & am very happy i purchased it! George from MO.

A High Quality Pocket Watch
The Swiss Army pocket watch stands out from other modern offerings. It has a rugged stainless steel case a Swiss quartz movement a mineral glass crystal a heavy duty chain and water resistance to 100 meters. I have checked this pocket watch against the atomic clock in Boulder Colorado and it is accurate to within one second a day. I wanted to get a decent pocket watch and I passed over many of inferior quality before deciding on this Victorinox watch. Your average pocket watch these days comes with a plastic crystal which is easily scratched. The movements in most modern pocket watches are also highly suspect: mechanical movements may be made in Thailand and quartz movements are usually from Japan. Forget about water resistance in your average run-of-the-mill pocket watch. This watch has a stainless steel case that is built like a tank. If the case gets scratched you can polish out the scratches--same with the mineral glass crystal. I have mineral glass crystals on a number of wristwatches and I polish out the scratches with a fine abrasive called Flitz. The other thing I like about the Victorinox watch is the highly luminous hands and hour markers--they really stand out. The only improvements I'd recommend is a nicer roomier leather pouch that would attach to your belt--the supplied pouch is really too small. The date window at the six o'clock position could be a little larger. Overall however this is a pocket watch you can be proud to pull out of a vest pocket or belt pouch. I have already selected a small stainless steel finished Swiss Army knife by Victorinox as the perfect "watch fob." The watch is warranted by Victorinox for three years and that's the longest warranty you'll probably get on a pocket watch. This watch recalls the bygone era of the railroad watch and you can finally own a pocket watch your great grandfather would be proud to own!
