Product Description
The Maverick II by Victorinox stands out for its GMT function, which allows the wearer to set the watch to more than one time zone. The large subdial is marked with Arabic numerals 1 through 12 on the outer chapter ring, and Arabic numerals 13 through 24 on the inner chapter ring Read More
kin670LOL! However I did get the Victorinox with the ETA Valgranges Auto Chrono movement for $300! I know it's not a GMT, but that should be doable for Victorinox at a decent price point for an auto GMT.
Just received the watch, wasn't impressed. The bezel is slightly off-centered (that's fine). Worst still, the second hand is ticking off-the-scale; instead of tick & stop at the marking, it stops in between the marking.
Normal for a Swiss Made watch ?
alvin1118That's a sharp looking watch.
I think the issues around misalignment are within the tolerances of some watchmakers who anticipate that the issue will eventually correct itself, typically with a small jolt from say, a missing ripcord, a too-long bungee-jumping cord, starting a BBQ with the lid down, or a small fire in a munitions factory.
need to ask all of you if this timepiece is worth buying? Been reading a lot of great things about victorinox, but the comments have made me into a bit of a sceptic. Is the watch working as it should be?
Hello everyone.
Did all of you get your watches already? My one arrived couple of days ago.
And the problems started ... The watch wasnt working, which I found strange for a quarz, but I still went and changed the battery thinking that this is the problem. The watch started running, however it lost 15 minutes for 2 hours. The I noticed that it is actually stopping and it goes back again because of the movement of my hand (I guess). When I left it on the desk, it stopped completely and didnt want to go anymore. It is now with a repair shop, looking for around ~ $100 repair considering I bought a battery as well. They said the movement isn't working, but they can say more only once they examine. Warranty card is not accepted - no stamp, no date, nothing is filled there whatsoever.
My friend bought the same one too, it just arrived yesterday (why didnt they arrive together, if the same massdrop and same delivery, same country/city??). The hour/minute hand adjustment wasnt working properly and after around 10 second of trying his crown fell off.
2 out of 2 garbage pieces. Both of them are the black dial.
Are we the only 2 drawing the short stick here, or is the whole batch of watches with the same "quality"?
My Victorinox Swiss Army Maverick II Dual Time 241183 has a bezel that looks more purple than blue. Has anyone else noticed this about their "blue" watch?
I spent a good half hour googling for exactly what movement is in this watches. It would be good if massdrop has this information on the product pages. Afterall, massdrop users are not your average watch purchasers and tend to do more research than the average consumer. Would appreciate more information. Thanks.
TigerUKCertainly not. There are various levels of accuracy, thermostat compensation, battery life, etc. Google grant seiko quartz, citizen makes auruably the most accurate quartz, etc etc ....
Are these watches authentic? I have seen the model similarly priced on amazon previously but when reading reviews it seemed there were issues with the authenticity of the product.
Buyer beware.
I bought the other model of the Maverick II a few months ago from a dealer. After wearing it for less than a day I realized the hour hand was not moving because it had fallen off. One of the end links was also poorly machined. It was slightly too thick on one of the sides and wouldn't allow for the springbar to stay fully engaged (not a springbar issue as I tried replacing it before carefully inspecting the end link).
Overall, I'm still a fan of Victorinox but would definitely not purchase either of the Maverick II models. Just thought I'd share my experience.
