Our men's chronograph watch is rugged enough to handle hard use, handsome enough to wear anytime.

Scratch-resistant mineral crystal; superaccurate quartz movement. Case diameter 41mm. Men's chronograph watch is water resistant to 50m. Imported.

Great looks, dubious quality,
March 24, 2013
By: JackBeNimble
"I'd love to say good things about this watch, it's certainly very handsome and I have had several compliments on its looks. However, after a couple of months the stop watch failed to return the second hand to zero, after a couple more the hour hand has started to lag making reading the time accurately quite difficult. On top of that the strap is far too long. IMO this product needs an overhaul."

Attractive watch marred by poor build quality,
March 21, 2013
By: seezee
from Norman, OK
"PROS:
· Attractive design
· Solid construction w/ high quality materials
· Easy to use chronograph
· Illuminated dial
· Date feature
· Sturdy leather band
CONS:
· Large size makes it uncomfortable for smaller wrists
· Leather strap needs additional holes for smaller wrists
· Buttons stick out & poke wrist when worn
· Only minute & hour hand and chrono hand illuminated, not numerals
· Small second hand may be difficult to see for some
· No month feature
· Date must be reset every month
· Imprecise build: no "sweep" on second hand or chrono hand; chrono hand does not precisely line up with index marks

Great watch,

By: Rickzzzz

"Very attractive and easy to read in just about any light. Others commented that the band is too long. I am 6ft with an average build. It's just right for me. The case is beautiful. It would make a perfect gift. Overall, this is one of the nicest watches I have owned."

"I have enjoyed the watch for 2 years. I am now disappointed to find out that Orvis no longer carries a replacement band. Quite a disappoinment for an Orvis product."

Don't waste your money,
January 24, 2013
By: Laragone
"I bought this for my husband for our 25th anniversary. I had it engraved. The first one had a broken dial. The next 3 watches had crooked monogramming. I would call, complain and get a new watch with the same problem. I thought it was resolved with a nice customer service rep only to get the same watch I returned back in the mail in a damaged box and cheap packing. Finally, I sent it back and am getting a refund. This has been goin on since October. Seriously, shop elsewhere"

"My husband likes the watch except for one minor issue - the leather band is excessively long and while not a deal killer is just enough of an annoyance to give a qualified recommendation fro this product."

What a watch!,
December 28, 2012
By: FloridaSpeysider
from Tallahassee, FL
"The watch was one that I have admired for 8+ years. I have a few premium watches such as Rolex and Cartier. The detail and classic look of the Orvis watch is on par with those brands. This watch is an instant heirloom that I will someday hand down to my children. Thanks Orvis for selling quality and refinement in all of your products."

Poor service,
December 27, 2012
By: Mattiegirl46
from Tennessee
"I purchased this watch as a gift for my husband to replace his old Field Chronograph which had stopped working. There were two problems with the watch: 1. the band is very long and did not fit. Adding an extra hole was not a solution since the band would have wrapped around his wrist too much. His previous Field Chronograph band was shorter and fit fine; he does not have a small wrist. 2. The watch did not keep accurate time. When he called customer service, the only solution offered was to send the watch back and have it "repaired" by getting a new band. This solution was at our expense, which was not a "customer oriented" solution, since we felt that Orvis was at fault in selling a chronograph with a different watch band and not indicating its length in the description. We have returned the watch, at our expense, and are very disappointed in Orvis's service and product."

Great gift!,
December 27, 2012
By: JenAS
from Houston, TX
"Bought this watch for my dad for Xmas. Most reviews I've read prior to purchasing complained the strap was too long. It may have been a tad longer strap, but it was fine and actually preferred by my dad. He liked it a lot. The only thing I didn't like was that it is made in china and $13.95 was a lot for shipping a small package."

Good bargain,
November 29, 2012
By: HEvans
"For the money I can't complain. The watch itself works flawlessly and looks fantastic. However, as mentioned in another review the watch band is extremely long. The model I tried on at the store seemed to have a shorter band. When I opened the watch I purchased at home the band was not the same as on the display model. I would still recommend this to someone, but would add the caveat that a new band will need to be bought as well."

"This watch is everything I've been looking for in the past couple years in my search for the perfect watch. It is very stylish with an incredibly clean design and color scheme. The stopwatch feature is very helpful and great for keeping tabs on how long you've been on the river. I love this watch!"

Gigantic,
October 25, 2012
By: MtnRacer
from Tulsa
"This is a nice looking watch but the strap is WAY too long. I'm 175 lbs and even on the smallest hole it's too loose on my wrist and wraps half-way around again, looking sloppy and cheap. I returned it and will be purchasing something else. Be aware the watch itself is also huge, extra large face."
