This watch is amazing. The battery lasted a long time and was easy to replace so now it'll last far longer. The watch does tick, but you have to put your ear to it for it to tick and I actually find it kind of soothing. The watch band has fake leather (of course for the price) but it just wrinkles from the inside from daily wear. Looks very great and runs perfectly. I'd definitely buy again if mine breaks because it's so cheap.
