Entry level lux-watch Jun 28, 2007
I had my first Accutron decades ago. It was perhaps the first watch I had ever had that really kept "perfect" time.
Perhaps for sentimental reasons, then, I looked at the Accutron line. I had looked at the Innsbruck (?) model and felt it perhaps overpriced. At the time, my opinion of Accutron was that it was a very good timepiece, time keeping-wise, but just a so-so watch brand.
I would have, at the time in question here, thought "for the money, go with Tissot."
My opinion after having purchased this watch from Amazon AND NOT PAYING the $625 list price one often pays at the local mall jewelry store for the Tissot brand (for a similar watch), is that it is a bargain "entry level, high end watch."
The band, the clasp, the package all perhaps suggest Omega, Tag, Montblanc, Rado and the above mid-priced Tissot's (I do have at least one or two of each of these, so this statement is made from first-hand experience.)
The warranty, too, suggests a "great timepiece."
This is not an automatic watch, it is a Swiss made quartz. It has the look and feel (every piece of the package and the watch itself) of a watch that some mfgrs list at up to $1,000.
It is, not a tier one watch. I am not suggesting it is.
This is perhaps not even a tier two watch, based on reputation.
I would place it in the tier two category -- but I am not watch-o-phile, or whatever. I have about 15 watches. The most expensive is a Montblanc watch that I bought for about $2,300. Many folks think that the starting point for "real" watches is $2,000. By that measure, I have only two that qualify. Most of the watches I own are in the over $1,500 MSRP range.
I have grown to appreciate sub $1,000 watches -- and Tissot and now Accutron (and perhaps Bulova) seem to be the purveyor of the best of the best in this price classs.
This is a "class" and perhaps will become "classic" entry level sport lux watch.
It is a steal here on Amazon, too.
