By Peter from Morgantown, WV on 09/27/2009 Pros: Dark Digital Numbers, Good Quality, Reliable, Stylish Best Uses: Everyday, Formal, Travel Describe Yourself: Modern, Practical, Stylish Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is an outstanding value. The quality is excellent and the watch looks very good. The only drawback is the digital display, which is too dark. However, this is not a fatal problem since pressing down on the winding knob lights a back light that comes on for a moment.
Very interesting design, but flawed By mr from Marylad on 06/20/2009 Pros: Good Quality, Stylish Best Uses: Everyday, Travel Describe Yourself: Diver, High End Shopper, Modern, Pilot Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Received mine a few days ago. This swiss chronograph seems to have very high build quality, though flawed by secondary digital displays so dark can't read, unless you push crown in to get backlight. Gevril seems to be a boutique watch company, pics of actors and models on web sight. For some reason they decided to make a few limited production chronographs, mine is 208 of 500. For the original price of $2500, who in their right mind would get one, this market segment would purchase an Omega or Tag-Huer, and I guess they did, since all the GV2s seem to be on closeout and not in current model listings.
But for the Sierra price, especially if associated with additional markdown, it is a good addition to those who appreciate Swiss chronographs, but not ready for a $3K Omega seamaster pro. Digital setups a bit involved, as any watch, but once you set the defaults, just twist the crown to enter various modes. The watch has a very high quality and clean design appearance, and the digital sub functions actually useful (if you could read them). Comes in this huge wood presentation box, the likes of which I have never seen. Going to use it as my watch storage box. Links adjust with screw pins rather than push out links, so check them ocassionally to make sure not loose. For the price, you get a watch that certainly doesn't look like it was put together in China, but who knows. One strange thing, watch is marked as a "certified chronotimer". Certified by whom, they do not say. The Swiss COSC organization certifies chronometers, each one individually. I suspect that marking was not well received. Even with all the above issues, I think it's an exceptional watch for the price. Just keep in mind that it is "huge".
Great watch for Gadget lover By Watch man from Southern New Jersey on 01/30/2009 Pros: Adjustable Watchband, Good Quality, Reliable, Stylish Cons: Complex for average user Best Uses: Casual, Chronograph functions, Everyday, Travel Describe Yourself: Classic, High End Shopper, Modern, Practical, Stylish Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Being a watch lover who looks for high quality specimens with unique characteristics, this watch fits the bill. It is not for the average watch user who just wants the date and time with no complications.
By Dr. Bala from Orlando,FL on 01/05/2009 Cons: Difficult To Use, Drains Battery, Heavy, Unreliable Describe Yourself: Modern, Practical, Stylish Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: A beautiful product let down by poor attention to quality.. Manual has no mention that it is battery operated and what battery to use. Supplied with totally dead supposed to be 10year battery. Warranty becomes invalid if case is opened by non dealer and nearest dealer is 100s of miles away.Buy the mechanical watch.[...]
By Adrian351 from Australia on 11/29/2008 Pros: Adjustable Watchband, Analog Digital Date, Cheap, Good Quality, Great quality watch, Keeps real accurate time, Reliable, Stylish Cons: I missed the sale price, nothing Best Uses: Everyday, Formal, Travel Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This watch is awesome and feels like definite quality when you handle it. I've been looking for something like this for ages, but couldn't find anything similar. I like the feature of having a separate date display as well as the digital time. The closest Brietling watch is way over priced compared to this, and the GV2 has more features. Highly recommended.
