Since watchmaking is Switzerland’s national industry, the country has a long tradition of sporting timepieces that have been designed for an active lifestyle. Created by founder Samuel Friedmann, Calibre timepieces were established in 1992 to bring the Swiss enthusiasm for sports and the outdoors to a world where watches were increasingly becoming an integral part of an active, casual lifestyle.Nineteen-ninety-two was a banner year for Swiss athletes. Marc Rosset won a gold medal in Men’s Singles Tennis at the Barcelona Summer Olympics, while Gustav Weder and Donat Acklin won gold for Switzerland at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville in the two-man bobsled competition. This was the same year that another high-caliber Swiss performance began to take shape: Calibre Collection timepieces. The Calibre Collection takes the Swiss sporting tradition, exemplified by Switzerland’s 1992 Olympic champions, and updates it for the 21st Century. Calibre timepieces are powered by precision Swiss-made movements and are the definition of a great sports watch.The Calibre vision was inspired by two Swiss traditions: watchmaking excellence and a love of athletic activity. These versatile timepieces are setting new standards for creativity, craftsmanship, and casual style.

CLASSY & INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!
This watch is tough as nails. I run a landscaping company so I am constantly beating up whatever I wear on my wrists. Finally I just stopped wearing a watch altogether, but missed wearing a watch. Years later this striking watch popped up in an advertisement so I thought I'd give it a chance, now I'm glad I did. I've worn this watch for over two and a half years now on a daily basis and I rarely take it off. This is the kind of watch I can work in and not worry about tearing up and believe me, I've beat the crap out of this thing. The watch has stayed on my wrist through working, hiking, mountain biking etc...it's bulletproof, unlike the many watches I've worn in the past. It also has a very classy design which I love and is very professional looking for when I'm wearing to my meetings. In the beginning the nylon straps were a bit rough around the edges but wear softly over time, will take it over leather any day. It's by far the most comfortable watch I've ever worn. I highly recommend this watch to anyone, I'll be wearing this to my grave!

Looks Great, Poor Quality Nylon Watch Bands, Mine Lost Time
A beautiful watch that looks way more expensive than it truly is. The included bands are coarse but you can replace them with any number of styles to go with any outfit. The really terrible part was that my watch immediately started losing time. I figured it was the battery and looked at the back and the backplate came off without the use of any prying tools. It essentially just fell off. I brought it in to a jewelry store to see if the battery needed changing but they said they battery was working fine. At this point I decided that I wanted to try my luck with the manufacturer warranty but was unsure if the warranty would be valid since I did not buy the watch from a store, but from amazon. Worse yet the jewelry store could not get the backplate back on to the watch. I managed to get the plate back on but the watch has just been collecting dust because it has completely stopped and I am unsure what to do.

Inexpensive
Inexpensive and affordable though canvass strap is flimsy. The strap holes easily wear out, otherwise overall design is good and attractive.

Good Watch Great Price
I agree with other reviewers I would not spend 150 bucks on this watch but for 32 it is a steal. I like the large face it is easy to read and looks good. The nylon band is comfortable and so far is in good shape. The fact that you get a second band is awesome, I needed a band for another watch and it fits great. Instead of paying 10 dollars for a band I got a watch and an extra band for 32, good deal. We will see how well it holds up, but for 32 bucks if it lasts a year so be it.

The design is simple, a plus.
I liked the appearance of this watch because it is not over stated, like so many watches are. The only disappointment I have with this purchase is that the luminous feature does not work. There is no glow-in-the-dark, as I thought it would have.

Not a "$200" watch
Don't be fooled by the original list price of this watch. I saw this 'sale' and thought I would give it a shot. Received it in the mail, it came in a nice little box but the rest of the packaging just screams cheap Chinese production... The awful quality of the strap is what made me absolutely sure I was returning it. The edges of the strap were not cleanly cut which meant really rough edges and it had irritated my entire wrist after wearing it a few minutes. The actual metal watch also felt cheap and clunky and the seconds hand was very shakey. This watch felt like something that should be on the 10$ watch rack at walmart...I have an $80 citizen watch that just completely blows this thing out of the water in all quality aspects. The strap that came with my citizen is worth more to me than this crappy watch was. So yeah, don't waste your money on this thing.

Spend your hard earned money elsewhere
I really liked the looks of this watch. So much so, that this is my second one, purchased in Dec 2014...about 3 months ago. Watch bands are nothing special, but they work for me. Problem is, this watch will not keep time. Not even close. Losing 5 min a day. Yes, a day...every day. Another issue I just found out about, is their 30 day return policy. Really? 30 days? Spend your hard earned money elsewhere...even if it's on sale.
