Wenger Men's Battalion III Diver watch #72346 Review

I have owned a swiss army watch before and loved it. Unfortunately I lost it and bought this as a replacement. I have only owned it for a few days so as for durability I can only say that it works perfectly so far and my last one performed admirably for several years. The watch also comes with a three year manufacturers warranty. What I like most about this watch is the fact that it looks incredible, better than the picture. The form, the color, the weight, the size of the face, all flawless. The aesthetics of the watch are essentially as good as any for any price. Having said that, the second hand does not line up exactly on the one second increment markers but that is the only true imperfection I have noticed so far and should not bother anyone but the truly obsessive. This watch screams good taste, and is very fairly priced when considering swiss craftsmanship. Don't be put off by the swiss-army knife credentials of the manufacturer, this watch is no novelty tool and should gain you some credit as a man of refinement.

Wenger Men's 72347 Battalion III Diver Series Watch Review

Wanted an orange watch for diving, so I decided to get this one after looking at multiple forum reviews of this watch and a similar looking Invicta. My desire was to get a watch that I could dive with for a trip to Moorea in French Polynesia. I didn't want to bring my Omega along just in case it got stolen or lost, and I wanted something with a bit of the Omega Planet Ocean look...
Anyway, this watch is actually quite nice and attractive. It has quartz movement, and is quite accurate with timekeeping. I like the combination of black face with the orange bezel. Other subtle things also nice like how the band is highly polished on the sides, but brushed on the top. Overall, I'm very happy with this watch and it served its purpose well. BTW, the links can be shortened by pushing the pins out and then replacing them. Easy to do if you have the right tools.
Three things about this watch - the date indicator is kind of at the 4 o'clock position, which is a little strange to me, but functions fine nonetheless. Also, the side "guards" near the screw-down crown stem are a bit prominent, which is also kind of a distinctive feature / look. The mineral crystal is slightly domed which is also a unique feature.
BTW, I also got an Orient Orange Mako at the same time (word of advice - price shop also at Orient's website) - basically a similar looking watch except the black and orange are reversed (black bezel with orange face). Both are excellent watches, although the Orange Mako is an automatic watch whereas the Wenger is quartz. As another user noted, the second hand doesn't quite match up with the ticks but this is not all that uncommon with a quartz watch.

Clean lines and an elegant silver, black, and red color scheme makes the Men's Battalion Watch as stylish as it is sturdy. This versatile diver's watch also bears a pedigree: Swiss company Wenger was one of the first manufacturers of the Swiss army knife in 1908. Water resistant to 660 feet (200 meters), the timepiece boasts a myriad of must-have features for adventures both underwater and above, including a rotating bezel in red, luminous hands and indices, and a screw-on back for extra water resistance. The rugged timepiece fastens securely to your wrist with a comfortable black rubber strap.

Luminox Men's 3059 EVO Navy SEAL Colormark Watch Review

I usually don't review products but I'm compelled to write one about this watch. As a watch collector and a Soldier with two combat tours in Iraq, I know what a good military watch looks like. This watch is an excellent companion to wear in combat and it looks good enough for casual wear. I wore the Traser version on my last tour as well as a Marathon GSAR. Those watches are now confined to my safe as I wear this watch more often than I do my other watches. It is light weight, rugged and macho looking, easy to read at all times and of course it lights up like a torch a night.
What's to like about this watch? First, it is 200 water resistant. That's more than enough WR to withstand any water usage. Second, the case construction (PC/Carbon) is the best making this piece very lightweight. Third, you have to love the color combination. Orange is the international color for emergency/distress and it is very well executed in this piece without overwhelming the watch or making it look like a "fashion watch."
I like this watch so much that I ended up buying the white version (3051). At first when I read Luminox's claim that their watches are used by SF guys, Navy Seals and law enforcement officers I thought to myself, what a gimmick. But now that I own two I can tell you that it is indeed a very practical and though watch that will serve you well either you serve in the Armed Forces, are a law enforcement officer or are a spirited and adventurous civilian.
To close, I have another Army buddy that have one of the original navy Seals watches. He has wore his on two tours in Iraq and has beaten the heck out of it and the watch looks good and has withstood the harsh environment of the desert. Don't hesitate to buy this watch. You will only regret it if you don't get it...

Zeno Automatic Orange Army Diver Swiss Made Watch 465N-A5M Review

This is a nice looking watch and when I've worn it I've gotten compliments on it's looks. That's the only reason to give it three stars. It doesn't do well on the used market and isn't all that popular among watch aficionados. The non-quickset-date swiss movement is a pain to deal with if you've let the watch sit for any length of time. It's also non-hacking and non-handwindable. Not terrible but not great for a watch at this price. The dial looks good in pictures and from afar but up close looks like it was made on an inkjet printer. I like the style of the hands but that's just subjective on my part. The bracelet is nicely polished and feels well made but doesn't have a diver's extension.
All-in-all Zeno could have made a great watch by adding a better face, movement, and bracelet. As it is, however, I don't think it is even worth the grey market price shown here and certainly not their list price.
