Comments about Swiss Army Night Vision II Watch - Large:
The Victorinox Night Vision II really caught my eye. It has been three weeks since I last purchased The Swiss Army Night Vision II watch and so far it’s a handsome looking watch that’s been knocked around quite often at work and still no scratches or dents. This watch is simple, has bold luminescent numbers with a date window and built-in LED flashlights above the 12 o'clock position. There is also an LED dial light to illuminate the dial in the dark, and just in case the flashlight's battery is dead, luminous hands, as well. I am looking forward to using the Swiss Army Night Vision II on my backpacking trips. So far I have used this watch to navigate my bedroom in the dark late at night. I must say that the watch is rugged simple and good-looking with legendary legendary Swiss Army craftsmanship.

Comments about Swiss Army Night Vision II Watch - Large:
I have worn this watch everyday for about a year now. I love it. It has been to the scorching desert, cold winter hikes, high altitude, and underwater. I cycle, run, swim, and dive; this watch has never missed a beat.
The bold numbers are easy to read with just a glance. The hands are chrome, and just a glint of moonlight is all you need. The luminous numbers and hands do not last that long, nor are they very bright. However, this is negated by the dial's blue LED, so it's not really a big deal. The dial's LED is strong enough to even charge up the luminous paint, this is a good trick when you need to preserve your nighttime vision.
I have found the flashlight to be incredibly useful. It's almost become an extension of my vision, I'm so used to having it on my wrist. From navigating a girl's bedroom, checking my mailbox at night, power outages, or anytime I need to navigate someplace in the dark.
I have never used the flashing signal functions. There is a standard flashing pattern, and there is a brighter emergency beacon that is activated by holding the button for 5 seconds. Who knows, maybe one day I'll need it.
There is a little red flashing LED at the 6 o'clock on the dial. It's mostly just annoying. I hardly take my watch off for anything, so I have no need to locate it. This light has actually been handy once when I left the watch on my desk and was looking for it in the dark.
I have small wrists, and I use the smallest notch on the band. The case is 13.5mm thick. This is about the largest I would like to wear. I guess they had to really cram in 2 batteries, and all the transistors and wiring and lights in this thing. The watch is not annoying to wear. It is comfortable.
The sapphire crystal is flawless despite some rough scratches while rock climbing, a couple crashes on the bicycle, and general abuse. This watch can take all that and still fits in with my tuxedo at work.
The swiss quartz is pretty accurate, mine loses about 5 seconds every 3 months.
For the money that you pay, you are getting a rugged, reliable, handsome, accurate, unique swiss timepiece that will serve you well. I haven't really wanted to buy another watch since I got this one.
