In depth review of the Victorinox INOX, a swiss attempt at making a watch closest to the popular G-Shock. A watch that genuinely surprised me in a positive way.
As usual Captions or Subtitles are available in English and Croatian, I hope you enjoy :)

Honestly I want to see a third party torture test these watches and film it. I don't expect the watch to survive every test perfectly but sometimes I feel like some of these torture tests are more advertising than they are torture tests.
Facts
G-Shocks have proven their reliability in third party tests but the same can't be said about the equivalent Swiss watches.
True. I will say that the reason I’m looking at these is that a friend of mine - not a watch guy - says his Victorinox is tough. He is a large-animal veterinarian who has hiked the AT, canoed the Mississippi from the headwaters, and walked the Via-de-whatever-it-is in Europe. If he says it’s tough, it’s tough.
Insightful and very thorough as always.
This was a great in depth review. I got the 37mm version and I couldn’t be happier with my decision
Love this watch. Thanks for the review.
Excellent review sir. Answered all my questions.
Had mine for 3 years still happy
Outstanding review ! Thks so much
Waiting on a all steel with black face. Can’t wait to try it out and appreciate your video for helping me decide on it. Keep up the great reviews.
Impressively knowledgeable review. Subscribed.
Very good review. I've just bought this watch.....👍
You my friend give the best reviews, I have the inox diver 45mm and after watching your review I do NOT! Regret buying this amazing time piece, thank you keep up the excellent work.
+Indalecio Mendez thanks for the kind words and enjoy your watch.
Is the lume strong?
Yes I think so, and it's a two tone green and blue so it looks awesome at night.
+Indalecio Mendez oh wow that's cool
I ordered a blue diver INOX today. Beast.
This is a great watch. Ive got the the black rubber strap version.
I can see where Citizen picked the design cues for their Promaster Tough BN0211-09X
Nice review, with the comparison with the Gravity master, and the pro/cons of each detail of the inox being quite instructive. =)
I have a Divemaster and Infantry. Great watches.
Good morning!! First cup of coffee to start the day n your review, excellent watch had one a while back, excellent watch among the many lol. Thanxs for sharing..
+weedXD38 thanks for watching and enjoy your coffee 👍
I’d take this over a g shock anyday. Love Swiss army
This is the Swiss equivalent of G Shocks anyways lol, but preference’s preference.
Excellent entertaing review. A mechanical version is out now for double $, but as you said it can't be as resilient.
Because of the lume thing, and as I have no issue with a bigger size, I think I'll go for the pro version.
Keep 'em coming!
Great review
Thanks
Superb Review.....Thank you ;)
I bought this watch and it came in a pelican case with the metal bracelet installed and a rubber watch band included. The metal watch band was a nightmare to get on my wrist and for the life of me I was unable to release the spring bars to remove the bracelet. I had to take it to a watch maker. I ended up buying a 21mm bracelet that had quick release spring bars. In addition I had to cut a notch in the rubber band in order to get the spring bars attached. That being said I really love this watch.
excellent video, I have exactly the same watch, and I could add that the extensible is not always so comfortable. It is a durable watch, I have fallen and hit very hard twice, the glass intact and the case is easily scratched. Sometimes I use it with leather strap. More comfortable. Greetings from Mexico.
I just got one of these with the green dial and a bracelet. It's a really nice piece with a high quality finish but my markers are slightly off. I've since learned that even high end manufacturers can have this problem so I'll let it go and just enjoy it.
Love everything but the date window. I'd scoop one up used for $250 or so just for a weekend beater
Vitorinox is a strange brand name of watches in my memory, but after watching the review, I know that there are have more choices for a camping or traveling ideal watches as Vitorinox would offer.
Какие например?
Best review I’ve seen thanks. It would be awesome to see what’s inside.
Thanks and I agree
That would be great. What is inside one???
I appreciate the excellent view of the clock. I would just add that I.N.OX. There is no "ordinary" Nickel Plated Swiss Parts version of Ronda 715 (1 jewel), but Ronda 715 Gold Plated (5 jewel) version Swiss Made with EOL function, making a difference in the caliber of the clock. By the way, my blue color and the glass Victorinox did a great job and made a great watch !!!! I'm following your channel because I am also a fan of G-Shock watches.
Greetings for Serbija ....
Thanks for the info and for watching the channel, pozdrav iz Hrvatske 😊

Bio sam više puta gost u Zagrebu na okupljanju ljubitelja satova sa Portala. Seener i Joppa su bili moji domaćini tamo i stvarno sam se odlično proveo svaki put. Moj nik na forumima (wus, portal, svet satova) je ''backarelli'' .
Samo bi još jednom pohvalio vaše vrhunske recenzije u kojima zajsta uživam !
Veliki pozzZ ! :-D
I have the black with the black Naimakka paracord strap exactly as shown at about 6:30 or so in your review. I do like it and it looks great as a dressy casual watch. But the second hand sometimes points to the markers and in other parts of the dial it is off. Perhaps the dial is distorted. Not enough for me to worry about but a bit disappointing. I would expect if you are given a watch to review it would first be vetted for perfection. The paracord strap looks very nice ( I have the camo version on a black Seiko Solar X too) but slips a bit when new and gets much worse with wear. Soon it does not hold at all. I found an acceptable (for me) solution is, after threading the remnant strap through the retaining loop, fold it back towards the buckle but angle it 45 degrees towards the wrist, then tuck it under itself.
Like a g-shock mudmaster gwg-1000 only more elegant and without world time, 5 alarms, stopwatch, countdown timer, altimeter, barometer, thermometer, compass and no “tough solar”. But certainly a great watch. (I wish there was at least a “chrono version” of that, like seiko skx kind of turn into a ssc015)
If the Patek Philippe Nautilus went to a gym three times a week.
I am intrested in buying one, Have you used for a while? Does the crown hurt the skin after a while?
Great review, thanks.
Swiss makes some nice watches as we know from Rolex , Awesome tutorial as always!!😁
+alfred yu yes they do and thanks 😊
best review ever !!!!! i got this one, looks little big on me ,but is sweet, hard and beautiful
Thanks for the kind words and enjoy your watch, it's a brute, but a beautiful brute
If they made this color in titanium with high end precision quartz... And slimmer this would be watch of the decade
When are you going to make a review with a Casio MRG? I always watch your channel. Keep reviewing watches. Thank you
+RemeL Gepaya thanks for following, if one gets in my hand I definitely will
I'm looking at this or a carbon luminox. Any advice?
Where did you find this for under $300 usd? The cheapest I've seen is about $320 on amazon.com.
Excellent review would like one just in the diver and does the rotating bezel compromise toughness!?
It shouldn't although it's one more thing that can go wrong
I think the washing machine test is the most suitable seeing as how that's more likely to happen than being ran over by a tank. haha
+Larry Duncan haha so true when you think about it
That lume looks pretty by Victorinox standards. See the lume on the Maverick, it has just the hands and the bezel pip lumed (well it is a "diver", not a diver, after all...).
Haha I didn't know that about Maverick
With this Green colorway, what colors of Clothes would you NOT wear?
Love mine on bracelet, brand new $139
I'm thinking about getting that version as well. Is the width of the band on yours still 21mm as on this one or is it 22mm? I've seen contradicting specs listed on both models, actually.
@@charlesbelville5090 I guess I sold the one i commented on a couple of years ago, but I purchased another INOX quartz ref. 241739. Still has that pesky 21mm lug width, but the bracelet is very good and the rubber band is good also.
51mm lug to lug is kinda large but it really looks good on you. Could you tell me your wrist size?
6,8"
Fantastic Review as always!! I agree 100%, this watch is the *Swiss Gshock*
Cheers,
WCS
+Watch Collecting Strategy thanks for watching 😊
Because of my small wrist, I was considering INOX V which is 37 mm marketed for women but I find it well sized for me, the problem is they don't offer the bracelet with that size. :(
+xIVIx yeah that's a shame, maybe in the future they will
Watch Geek hopefully
I'm able to procure this piece at a fraction of its retail price, only problem is, my wrists are tiny. Cop or not? Yay or nay?
Do it and if it's too big, flip it, considering you can get it cheap, you shouldn't lose money
I like this watch but in ladies version of 37mm.
+onnoori lee I think I would like it in smaller version more as well, especially since its a no date version
What is the price of this masterpiece in usa or France.please help.i want to buy it for my birthday
I think you van get it for $300 in the US
I love look, size and heft, but, for that money they probably should have refined the mechanism so that the second hand hits the right markers. I held an INOX in a shop earlier this year. When I saw your video, we can still see that the second is not doing what it should be doing.
Keep uploading new videos, love your work.
Imo they should not have classify their 37mm watch as ladies watch because that would have been the perfect watch for guys who has a smaller wrist.
Much more elegant than Gshock. !!
I would take a Vostok amphibian and commander for the price of one quartz Victorinox and there is money left for a bunch of NATO straps...
You fucking review was fucking awesome!
Very very hard to find a good (elegant) looking tough watch. Speaking from experience, as I keep flipping my sports watch.
Really annoying how they only put the 24 hour dial (which is what I wanted) on the red one!
The 24 hour scale is an affection anyway, so they should just remove it, like the other seconds superfluous track.
so this is the swiss equivalent of the citizen promaster tough...
They need to make a 40mm
I will pay 200 bucks extra if they have an automatic version and $150 bucks extra if it's in-house
Quartz?! 😧😱
If they would just put this out in a 40mm.
A point of view... In Switzerland (Geneva) If you do not wear un Rolex or a Paneraï you can wear also a Swatch nothing else ni citizen ni casio ni nothing....!!! These geneves are very show off. ??!!!😂😂😂🤑🤑👍👍 Ah i forgot.. i am geneves...
a lot of people would buy it if they made it solar.... lol.... people don't like to change battery in their watch no more... low tec...
+Victor Ferrera I think so too, although it has 5 year Battery life which is quite long
Citizen makes a few very similar watches with their Eco-Drive movement. I wouldn't mind changing the battery myself but I don't like even the idea of losing the waterproofing.
Citizen has the Tough Fuck, very very tough!
