I love the Wenger #72756 but I should note that I bought it for half-price. Had it been full price I wouldve passed it over, but with the sale it easily became the best looking watch in the $200 price range. And while Swiss, Wenger is not necessarily known for making precision time pieces so if youre looking a "legendary" name in watches, this one may not be recognized.
This watch has everything I was looking for in a mans watch, plus some nice extras:
* Rugged, stainless steel design that looks equally good in the boardroom or with casual outfits.
* A very comfortable band.
* Large--but not gaudy--dials including date and day of the week.
* A secondary hour hand for a different time zone.
The only major feature I miss is a lighted dial. Instead, this watch has glow-in-the-dark hands on all dials, as well as dots for each of the hours. I guess Ill just have to carry a Swiss Army flashlight from now on?
The watch came in a nice metal box that was embossed with the Swiss cross on top of it. The instructions were detailed but simple, and they made setting the time and dates a breeze.
I would be extremely happy to receive this watch as a gift. As far as value goes, if its in the $200 range then you are getting quite a deal because it looks & feels like a much more expensive watch.
