Ive had mine for not quite a year now. It went to China with me last summer and I wear it on weekends. It is a bit too big for me, but looks great and isn't too expensive. My wrist is 17cm and this is probably 2mm too big. But, I really like the way it looks and it functions well. The battery has never been a problem. I think this watch is a good deal for the money. Also. I have tried several leather straps and what I found was best for me is I took a Strapcode super oyster bracelet I bought for my Seiko SARB017 and found it fit this watch. That bracelet made a big difference to me, and I really like the combo of this watch and super oyster.
