Make no mistake about it - This is certainly an elegant, partially gold-plated and 'somewhat' waterproof watch. Of course, the company uses the term 'water-resistant' so as to not suggest too much, yet they rate it as being water 'resistant' up (actually, down to) 10 Atmospheres (ATMs) or, 100 meters , or for we Americans, about 330 feet. This is less water depth than is usually considered acceptable for scuba or other diving but is generally suggestive of being OK for showering and swimming. Specs aside, it is quite attractive and seems to keep time quite accurately once set.

It is heavier than other watches of similar design - even than ones rated for greater water depth use. It is deeper, too. I measured it;s size (from the bottom of the watch to the top of the crystal, to be just about 13 mm.  That's about 1/2 inch. Not a slim watch by any standard. So, this watch definitely has both weight and girth - But, what it also has is attractively and somewhat elegantly  masculine styling.

I am a watch guy - and own 30+ of them. I wear them all, though not each with the same frequency, and choose a watch as a part of how I dress for each day.  This one will definitely have a place (after I have my jeweler remove the links that make the delivered watch too big for my wrist.) This is, BTW, a common occurrence. Both it's heft and the striking dark blue face will draw some attention to it - and I am not apt to forget that I wearing it! The special place/time for it will probably a stylish occasion near the water. It would look great there.

The clasp is top-quality as is the band and, so far as I can tell, the machining is perfect. That is to say, the second hand point lands directly and squarely upon the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock spots ... exactly. In a watch in this price range, THAT is a bit unusual! This one is definitely for dress up with nearby water for me.

PS: Brought the watch down to my jeweler to day to have a couple of links remover - His comment was, "Gee ... This looks a lot like a ROLEX!"
