I better go back to that store after work and buy that Croton sports watch (sales price-$64 with an OS/Miyota Citizen movement) before somebody else (a WUS foruim member) snags it !!! 's up-for-grabs. Heck, with your Croton (photo-inset) (Kutzi17), I'll wear that timepiece with pride. I guess for awhile the Crotons were the Rodney Dangerfield of the affordables."getting no respect" "LIFETIME WARRANTY" and competitive pricing - those are factors you can't overlook. I do hope they continue in producing affordable and well build pieces in the future with an eye towards more design saavy selections (whatever that means!!!).Ĭlick to // DRAGOON // Kutzi17))):thanksĪfter reading your comments, mostly favorable and positive, I will definitely put *CROTON* on my radar screen from here on out when I'm seeking for a beater watch. I think if they could somehow zero in on design work like Invicta does with some really sharp designs and keep their qa and qc up to their normal good levels.then they would be more accessible and desirable.īut, with many of their designs, one is just left scratching one's head.ĭont get me wrong I really enjoy and love many of their designs and homage pieces and think they are great values.Īnd. I think that is where they sort of lose the attention of many of the watch inflicted collectors/hobby/WIS crowd. They have some winners, losers, and just plain weird designs. ![]() Probably the biggest hurdle Croton has to achieve is their design choices. I have noticed there is now a $20 fee with their warranty work but I asssume it is mostly for return shipment fees. Unlike some of the other customer service operations Croton is really responsive in my experience with them and takes this part of the business as serious as their sales. I have owned over 100 Croton watches in the past and think they offer a trememdous value and unbeatable warranty on the movement. ![]() But, their bread and butter is the sub $200 market piece, IMO. Croton can arrange with their suppliers/associates/manufacturers in Switzerland and around the world and have a world class watch produced like any other manufacture. Their casework is ok and quality of build is ok to good depending on the price range of the particular model.ĭont be fooled. ![]() (((Sample: usually on sale in the sub$100 Men's Chronomaster 20ATM Chronograph (CC311093SSYL)Ĭroton has one of the strongest warranties in the watch world. Is it an image problem.or are there quality control issues? Just curious.because for some of the Crotons I saw on display today, I can wear a few of their watches with a business suit or just having a nice daily beater. Since joining *WUS*, I don't see much postings, let alone discussions on Crotons. I like the look and feel of most of their watches.some nice Chronos, divers (I know not in the leagues of the Boschetts, Steinharts, UTS, etc,) but for the price they look like good solid watches. Man, I'm telling you they have some nice watches in the sub-$100s.a few in the $120s, and $150s. There were a variety of watches on display - Andre Giroud, Hugo Boss, Nauticas, Invictas.and tucked in one corner were the *CROTONS*. ![]() I bypassed the Breitlings, TAG-Hauer display cases and proceeded to the clearance section. During my lunch break, in my quest for a luminous watch, I swung-by the mall after downing an in-and-out burger.and proceeded to the watch display counter.
