Is the Gevril Wall Street Chrono worth buying?

At $159 at Distritech as of November 3, it is cheap for a Swiss automatic chronograph. Weigh the low price against reports of movement problems and the cost of servicing.

How does it compare with a quartz chronograph?

The Sellita SW500 is mechanical and never needs a battery, but it is less accurate and needs servicing. A quartz chronograph is cheaper to run and more precise.

Does it need a battery?

No. It is automatic and winds from wrist movement, with hand winding as a backup.

It is rated to 200 meters, so swimming is fine. Have the seals checked before diving and avoid pressing the chronograph pushers underwater.

Expect the watch, its steel bracelet and paperwork. A display box and warranty card are typical for Gevril, but confirm with the seller.

Listed prices for this model swing widely. The $159 at Distritech as of November 3 is well below typical pricing, so check the price history before buying.
