Victorinox Alliance I.N.O.X. Analog Quartz Watch - Timeless Wristwatch

So I work at Chick-fil-A and am a bit of a watch collector. I wanted a pretty decent Swiss watch that I could wear to work doing anything from cash register to working the fryers without having to worry about it getting beat up or ruined. I previously wore my Tag Heuer but decided I should probably leave that at home after I had to have an issue with the crown fixed. That's where this watch comes in. This watch has been great at all tasks and still looks great. I sometimes wear the bumper depending on what I am doing because some of the tasks could really scratch up the watch (and have previously scratched up my Tag). The watch is a bit on the heavy side but feels like it's a quality sort of heavy like you would typically get from a dive watch. I have also worn the watch at the gym to workout, swim, and in the steam room and sauna. Some of these activities make my Invicta automatic dive watch fog up temporarily on the inside, but the INOX has not fogged up on the inside at all. Comparing this to my other watches, it is awesome.Pros:It is Swiss, has a sapphire crystal, and will be much more accurate than an automatic.Very Robust and looks great. It is like a Swiss version of the G-Shock but more elegant and not digital.The Rubber watch strap is wavy on the inside against the skin to allow for sweat to evaporate.Having the date at 4:30 looks weird but is actually pretty nice when wearing the watch. I did not expect this.Middle: The 24 hour markets inside the watch are practically useless. I have good vision at 24 years old and have trouble reading them. The rubber bumper it comes with also has 14, 16, 20, and 22 hour markers so that is a bonus if needed.Cons: The lume is not the brightest unless exposed to extremely bright light. Would like to have seen an illuminated second hand. That's just my opinion though. Your thoughts may be different.Rubber watch strap decently comfortable, but very far from the worst I have had!!! It seems to be getting more comfortable as I wear it so I may just need to break it in more.To sum it up, the INOX is a wonderful watch that I would have no hesitations recommending to anyone. If you are looking for a first good quality Swiss watch, you can't go wrong with this. If you have nicer watches and want something that is still nice but is more of a beater watch than an Omega would be, this would be great for you. There is a metal bracelet for the INOX on Victorinox's website I am considering getting if a metal bracelet is more your thing. It's very hard to go wrong with this watch so enjoy it if you get one. I know you will!

I am very pleased with this purchase. It was purchased through My Gift Stop retailer here on Amazon. The watch came very well packaged with all original paperwork and boxes. Also came with rubber bumper to protect case from damage. The watch itself had removable plastic film on the crystal and case back. The crown was also pulled out to conserve battery life while being stored.The case is very good looking in titanium and has a very industrial look to it. It looks like it can withstand some abuse, but keep in mind that it will scratch without the provided bumper installed as stated in the manual by Victorinox.The watch is easy to read with the exception of the military time markings. They are very small and almost non existent. As far as illuminating in the dark, it doesn’t show up very well. I took it into a dark room and couldn’t see the watch hands. Not a deal breaker for me but might be to someone that is planning on using it in the dark.The case back is engraved with all the watch info and provides a nice contrast to the dark titanium.The watch band has very nice feel to it but a little stiff. I think it might soften with some use. The pictures on the listing don’t do the blue band justice. It is a very nice color in the flesh. I also like that the clasp on the band matches the case. I believe it is titanium as well. I tried to capture as much detail as I reasonably could in the pictures provided.

I'm a huge watch junkie. I own most brands from $30 thru $10K. I wanted to add another "rugged work watch" to the list and after reading a lot about the new INOX I made my choice. For the price this watch is very nicely finished. All brushed and polished edges are done so very well. The hands look great and although the indices are stamped out of the dial (so they'll never fall off or become loose) they are made to look like they are applied separately and the look really works.The crown is protected very well and having a fixed bezel means you can beat the crud out of it without worrying about the bezel breaking (I've broken numerous rotating bezels, including Chase-Durer and Omega). The watch is very comfortable and the Swiss made rubber strap is stiff but fits really well. The overall size of the watch is perfect... it's sizable without being obnoxiously large like a lot of watches nowadays. The Swiss Ronda quartz movement has only gained a few seconds per month and is a tried and true workhorse. Another nice touch is the sapphire crystal, when most other watches in this price range have some sort of mineral glass. The crystal is also set just a hair lower than the bezel so knocks against the front of the watch have a lesser chance of hitting it.My only gripe would be how the rubber strap is attached. I lost a Rolex in the ocean once because it snagged on something on the boat and the springbars holding the band on broke and the watch fell into the water (yeah that sucked). The INOX uses regular springbars like most other watches and I just don't know how the INOX can be touted as a nearly indestructible watch when it can somewhat easily be popped off the wrist. I would've liked to see screws like the older Panerais, but I guess at this price point you only get springbars. It's a minor complaint because rarely does a watch get knocked off your wrist...but that added security is always nice.Overall I am very pleased with this watch and it's a pleasure to wear. I have many Victorinox tools but this is my first watch of theirs, and it's a keeper.

War Machine!

Positivo:DiseñoTerminadoCalidadNegativoBroche (complicado de asegurar)Habrá quien lo siento pesado (según su muñeca)Para mi una pieza que no puede faltar.La recomiendo.

Es un producto hecho para durar, materiales de calidad, según sometido a 130 pruebas de resistencia, casual, para uso diario. Diseño minimalista. Se siente pesado. Trae un plástico negro para protección adicional, que se puede retirar. Cristal zafiro, no cualquier reloj lo trae. Me ha gustado mucho.

I am really glad I bought this one. I was unsure at first, it is hard to get a sense of how great this watch looks from the photos on amazon. It is a great looking watch, it is one that really grows on you. At first you do not really notice the elegance of the design. Despite being designed and built to be ultra tough and reliable it has a subtle aspect to it. The dial layout is excellent and is very and easy to read, helped out by the anti-reflective coating on the inside of the super tough sapphire crystal. The case is a little on the thick side but the case diameter is only 42mm, so in practice it wears very well. The supplied strap is a little stiff at first, but it gets more pliable with a bit of wear. It is a waterproof leather which suits the watch very well. It works well in almost any situation, it is a watch you can wear without any worry of it getting damaged. In fact it has gone though some very tough tests in its development, so it is (almost) indestructible.Highly Recommended!
