Wenger Chronographs?

[Gylen]

I like this:

Are they good? I've seen a couple of threads on them but just wondered what people can tell me about them wrt movement, longevity etc.

I'd quite like one as a day to day watch but it'd need to survive swimming snorkelling and suchlike - any good?

No-one tried one?

£260 from Jura?

Maybe a tad expensive for what it is?

I don't really know anything about Wenger watches, they just don't really do anything for me.

I might run the risk of sounding boring, but you could get decent quality Seiko for that price, with an automatic movement.

I've actually got two Seikos. One Chrono and one automatic diver's. I'm not impressed, if I'm honest. The chrono needed the movement replaced (which I did, despite it costing the same as a new watch as it has sentimental value) and the diver's bezel has started rotating in both directions (not good) after just over a year. Poor build quality, IMO.

I'd never even heard of them until Glyen posted that link.

I'm working off the entirely unscientific principle that Wenger knives = pretty good so their watches will be as well. Plus I like the look of the one I posted. No idea if they are good in reality though...

The look is a bit similar to the AstroAvia range - I wonder if they share the same movements/ cases ?

I like the styling of the Alpine but they're quartz only. May still go for it though as there are deals to be had.
