This is a beautiful watch... as it is my first automatic watch and I am really enjoying it.  I have worn a Timex Ironman for about 30 years now and have a few timex dress watches that I also have worn, but the dang batteries are getting cheaper and cheaper and last less time with every new battery.  SO.. it was time to battery-less watch..haha.  I have had the watch for about a month now and it has been awesome.  I am only losing about 1 second a day so that is awesome as some of the higher end watches lose more time than that.  I don't mind losing one minute every 2 months.  Thats great.  I got lots of positive comments on it.  I also looked at the Tag Heuer, but I decided to see if I really wanted to wear an automatic watch before I buy such an expensive watch and decide I don't like them.  At this point I am not sure I want the Tag as this watch is very impressive and the price was right.  I do miss my alarms and stop watch, but I just keep my Ironman on my computer bag and put it on for the gym.
