A Solid Quartz Chronograph

BUILD: The XLS is no small watch. Coming in at 45mm for the case, the watch is definitely large. Ensure that a 45mm watch will suit your wrist type. Additionally, the XLS is not a tremendously light watch either. The watch definitely has some heft to it. That being said, the weight is not unreasonable, and my wrist has never been uncomfortable when wearing the Chrono XLS. The case itself and the pushers ooze quality. The dial looks great with its raised numbers. There is certainly no doubt that this is a Swiss watch. THE STRAP: It is worth noting that I never used the stock stainless band. I have only used a ZULUDIVER NATO rubber strap from the onset. I have found that the watch works great with NATO straps. NOTE: If you buy a new strap, buy a 22mm strap. The description puts the lug width at 20mm, but this is inaccurate. You may notice that in the pictures my strap is 2mm too smaller than it should be because of inaccurate description. FEATURES: The Chrono XLS has as many features as you could reasonably want from a chronograph. The timing function works well and is extremely accurate in my testing. similarly, the time on the watch is also very accurate. The split timing feature is a nice touch. One gripe I have is the luminescence. The hands and number indicators are fairly dim and don't hold light for very long. TLDR: Victorinox makes some sharp timepieces and the Chrono XLS is no exception. The overall quality is excellent. The features work well and the movement is accurate. Just ensure that you want a larger watch on the hefty side if you opt for the XLS. All elements considered, this watch is a great daily driver and a solid choice for anyone wanting a quality chronograph without stepping up to full mechanical territory.
