2nd UPDATE - April, 2013:  I have since sent this watch back to them two more times to repair the original problem that has never been fixed.  Each time, it takes months and I never hear a word from them until I hound them. I just contacted them to ask them to please help me because after three times in their hands for months at a time, the watch is still defective.  They have refused since day one to refund my money, and now they are saying they can't keep spending money on shipping and repair.  What???  What about the money I spent on a defective product???  They also say it has been too long since my purchase date for them to help me.  What???  This is an ongoing problem that started within five months of purchase.  They are the worst company I have ever encountered.  I consider my money stolen since they sold me a defective product, can't fix it, and refuse to replace or reimburse.  The worst!!!!

UPDATE:  This watch is defective, and it took three months for the seller to get it "repaired" and sent back to me...and it was not fixed.  They stated a 2-year window for returning if defective, so we'll see if they honor that and give me my money back.  Also, during the 3 months they had the watch for repair, they were horrible with keeping me updated.  I had to contact them constantly to find out why it wasn't being sent as promised, and their date just kept getting pushed back further and further, then again no word.  Terrible company!

Also, the band has a tear in it.  My husband takes better care of his things than 90% of the population, way more than I do, and he has several watches so doesn't wear this one all the time--the tear is NOT due to wear-and-tear...it's poorly made.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:  I don't wear a watch and know nothing about them, but I was able to choose this one as a gift for my husband with confidence because 1) he likes the Victorinox brand, and 2) even I can see it is a handsome watch. It's on the subtle side with enough character that it's not boring. The face is large (not bulky), which makes the band seem a bit narrow even though it is a standard size band. Packaging is really nice, so made for a nice "presentation" as a gift.
