 Swiss Army Men's Maverick II Chrono watch #24144 By: Swiss Army Average Rating: 3.0 Total Reviews: 1 More Information The Swiss Army "Big Boy"  On: 2007-12-04While this watch is the "star" of my Swiss Army watch collection, it is not my favorite. Here are the pros and cons on this watch: The Good Stuff: The size is great, and the syle is very refined, it exudes class and taste. It gets extra points for the nearly impossible to scratch sapphire crystal. It is accurate and dependable. The Not-So-Good: With its great big face, it is suprizingly difficult to ready. The concentric circle pattern machined into the face and subdials causes a lot of glare. The second hand (the sub-dial at 6 oclock) is nearly invisible. The teeny date window (at 4:30) gets completely lost and NEEDS magnifier window. While this watch is "manlier" and "classier", I wear my 10+ year old Swiss Army Lancer much more often, just because it is easier to see. If the face of the Maverick II had a matte finish, and the date display was readable, this would be a much more useful watch. |
