Hello everyone. I turn 18 years old in december, and want to buy myself a proper watch as a gift to myself.

I really like chronographs and divers and have been looking for something that combines the best of both worlds in my price rage (Max 1000€). I found the Victorinox Maverick Chrono in black when googling around, and i kind of fell in love after trying it on my wrist in a store.

My question to you is: Is this a solid watch? I'm kind of new into the watch-scene (dont know if that is the correct term) so im kind of scared that i will spend a lot of money that i have worked hard for on a watch that i later on find out is of low quality or that will drop in price significantly year after year.

Thankful for all answers, and more options within my budget!

I would get something from a more traditional watch brand, OP. A Hamilton, Longines, Tissot or Seiko. Ideally, an automatic, with hacking, good water resistance (at least 100m) and a long power reserve. Maybe you can look into the Seiko Alpinist!
