 Men's Wenger Swiss-Made Watch Extra-Large Standard By: Wenger Average Rating: 5.0 Total Reviews: 1 More Information Simple, rugged, easy-read  On: 2007-01-13I replaced a 16 year old Wenger watch (same model) with this one. It had been completely reliable until the knob for manually changing time went off alignment and wouldnt work anymore Note: the size of the watch is substantial. My old one was the ladies version which was nearly as large as a regular dress watch for men. This one is the mens size... its quite large, which makes reading time (especially at night) much easier for my now bifocal-using eyes :) The phosphorescent dots on the dial charge up in a couple of minutes and last a long time in the dark. the only drawback on this watch design is the date number counter: you have to manually set it every other month. Tip: you can change the battery yourself and save $$$ (note: if you have the battery changed at a dept store, for 9-15$, the warranty will be voided just the same as if you do it yourself). The back cover has to be unscrewed (i use needle-nose pliers with a rubber griper as a scratch-preventing liner) and voilà !)
