I bought this one a few weeks ago from a fellow in Canada. I really am liking it. Do others of you own the Swiss Army watches and do you like them? Cheers, Bill P.

Oooo, I like. :)

What size is it? Quartz or mechanical?

By how the chrono center second hand is sitting right on the marker, I would venture a guess that it is quartz, no?

Nonetheless, a beautiful piece!

Looks like it, though Victorinox does have one automatic chrono...

Alpnach Automatic

My SA chrono is quartz. I am not sure on the case size, but I think it must be 40 or 41 mm. It is a very comfortable wearing watch and I really like the looks. It keeps spot on time as well. Cheers, Bill P.

nice looking. it has an omega-like quality to it - especially the lugs and crown guards.

Today I received my new Wegner. I think it may be the first watch I've ever purchased myself [and I have grey hair!].
It has the white cross in a red field, but is made by the other Swiss army knife company.
I think they are decent watches, but maybe the bracelet could have been a little beefier.

Still waiting for the right 15200

Slight quibble- as of 2008, Victorinox owns Wegner. Same company, two different lines.

Hi Bill, looks pretty good

I do not own one but how accurate is it?

gaopa · 6 March 2009, 08:45 PM

I have had several Swiss Army watches over the years... all quartz. This one, like all I have had, is very accurate. I think they are a great value for a fun watch. They are very well made and good looking, I think. Cheers, Bill P.

I have one - forgot the model name. But it looked awesome on the internet (princeton watches). when I got it on my wrist - not so much.

been sitting in a drawer now for a few years.

but i have seen other swiss army watches that are very nice. My buddy has one that he got over 10 years ago for a present, and has worn it every day since. So I do think they are very well made watches.

stusrt · 6 March 2009, 11:51 PM

now I had to go look it up on the internet -
I have a startech 3000
I DO NOT recommended it. Those six push buttons are just too much...

I see they make one called the XLT I like - but I'm not falling for it again!

I have one, Maverick II, quartz. Very nice for knocking around the yard or golf course. Good timekeeper.
