 Swiss Army Men's Maverick II Alarm Watch #24314 By: Swiss Army Average Rating: 5.0 Total Reviews: 2 More Information Nice classy look  On: 2007-07-29I finally made a move from rubber banded watches after 25+ yrs. (timex, nike) Plus I tried going without a watch for the last 3-4 months since I have a cell (blackberry) constantly on-hand. But I finally decided I like a real watch and wanted something nicer this time. Going to a metal band was for me a big move too. But after getting two links taken out, it fits fine. I also wanted a larger face and this one fit the bill. It is pricier than I expected to pay but I had been looking for a while and came back to this one more than a few times. Setting the date took more effort than anticipated but once I figured it out, no problem. Great watch! On: 2006-07-16This is my second swiss army chronograph. I received one as a gift ten years ago and wore it every day since. I never had a problem with my old Swiss Army, but was ready for a change. The maverick has a nice weight, it is very comfortable, and generally offers a great combination of quality price and value. Its classic look makes it the kind of watch that you can wear anywhere, and it is durable, so you dont have to worry about it getting scratched or banged up. I have had no problems so far, and find the alarm feature very handy. The one thing I will say is that this is a BIG watch. I was a little surprised by how big it was when I tried it on. Until I was used to it, I thought it might be a little too flashy for a mid-priced watch. Once I got it fitted and got comfortable with it, that was not as much of a concern. Even so, it is probably really only suited for someone with a big frame - and would probably not look right on smaller guys. |
