By soutie from gold coast-Australia on 06/22/2009 Pros: Easy To Read, Good Quality, Reliable, Stylish Cons: Only 50m water risistant Describe Yourself: Athletic, Modern, Practical, Stylish Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: it would be perfect if it was 300m water resistant!
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".
By Michael O from Phoenix Arizona on 05/23/2009 Pros: Good Quality, Reliable, Stylish Best Uses: Everyday, Formal Describe Yourself: Athletic, Classic, High End Shopper, Practical, Stylish Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The watch is a marvel in style and quality however, the clasp on the beautiful leather band is complex and difficult to deal with.
By RS from OR on 05/17/2009 Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I had to return the 1st and 2nd watch because both watch ran 10 to 15 second faster ech day.

High quality, good looking watch By Sonofep from Palos Verdes Estates, CA on 05/06/2009 Pros: Adjustable Watchband, Good Quality, Stylish Describe Yourself: Athletic, High End Shopper, Modern Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This watch is of the absolute finest quality. Apparently, there were only 500 made. The movement and craftsmanship are second to none. It's quite a good deal for a high end Swiss Timepiece. My only complaint is that the watch wears a bit thickly on the wrist, making it difficult to pull back your shirtsleeve to see it. The case is appropriately thick, but I think the real reason for the added bulk is the clasp design on the band. It adds another 1/8" to 3/16" of diameter to the watch as you wear it on your wrist.
However, this is a purchase that gets better the more you spend 'time' with it. The details of this timepiece are well thought through and you can rest assured of having something unique to pass on to someone years from now.
It also comes in a very nice jewelry box, befitting of a high end timepiece.
Gevril GV2 Explorer Automatic Watch By DAS from Chicago, IL on 04/28/2009 Pros: Adjustable Watchband, Good Quality, Looks and feels expensive, Reliable, Stylish, Very well made Describe Yourself: Athletic, High End Shopper, Practical Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: unbelievably priced high end watch! the watch is on a larger side, as well as heavier! superior leather band w/adjustable clasp - so it works like a regular metal band - watch is high quality and on par with a much more expensive competition (tag, rolex, etc.) highly recommend! (this is my second Gevril). good luck!
By Dr L from Fairfax VA on 03/16/2009 Pros: Adjustable Watchband, Good Quality, Reliable, Stylish Best Uses: Everyday, Formal Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This made a very nice present for the kid. He's gone through so many junk watches that it was time to get in something solid.
By All New Now from Milwaukee, WI on 02/28/2009 Pros: Easy To Read, Good Quality, Reliable, Stylish Describe Yourself: Classic, High End Shopper, Stylish Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I like this watch a lot and bought it at a great price. I have not worn it enough to rate its reliability, and how it functions. I rely on the great service I have always recieved from Sierra Trading Post for years to correct anything that arises. On side note, I recently found a pair of broken Sunglasses that I lost track of from several years ago. I took a chance on sending them back for a different pair, I recieved the different pair without question and am very happy with them. You dont find that kind of service anywhere else, I would probably work for this company for FREE, just to be involved with this type of teamwork!!
Great quality, great buy! By All New Now from Milwaukee, WI on 02/25/2009 Pros: Adjustable Watchband, Good Quality, Reliable, Stylish Best Uses: Everyday, Formal Describe Yourself: Classic Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a great watch. I only have a few watches, but I like this one very much. Great quality, nice conservative look that will always be in style, and a great watch. I have a Rolex that I wear every day, but this is a great addition and looks more business like, thanks for a great deal.
