 I own two Swiss Legends. One uses an 18 jewel Swiss automatic movement - Claro, I believe. Seems accurate enough, although I understand these movements don't have the best rep. But, for $180 with a travel winder, I can't really complain. It's actually pretty attractive - black PVD with a black dial and pretty good lume including the luminous chapter ring. Bracelet is a POS, though. I took out three links, and I don't think any of them had matching friction pins.

The other is a quartzie. Fit and finish are pretty good. Price was right. My biggest gripe (and this is with myself - nobody forced me to do this...) is that it's hard to tell the time with silvertone hands on a silvertone carbon fiber dial. Bracelet on this one is pretty nice - it's a substantial watch. If only I could see the time on it...
