I have had a prior model for 13 years. It looks great, wears very comfortably, and kept excellent time -- for the first eight years. Then it stopped working. I sent it to St Moritz for repair, which informed me it needed a new movement for $85 (I only paid $125 for the watch; they were much less expensive in 2005). I paid it. Two years later it stopped again. I took it to a local watch-repair shop who told me that the movement was shot and a replacement (very hard to find) would be $100. I declined. Because the watch was a gift from my wife, I still have it. About a month ago I replaced the battery because, what the heck. It ran great for two weeks. Then stopped.

For the first several years it was the best watch I ever had and I wore it daily. Now it is a paperweight atop my dresser and I wear a Timex Easy Reader my daughter gave me for my birthday. The $30 Timex, of course, works flawlessly. But I cannot recommend St Moritz watches at all.
