Although new, I really like this watch so far.  It has kept perfect time, even when left on the night stand overnight (i.e., no automatic winding as I toss and turn in my sleep).  I find the watch face to be a good medium size so that it doesn't look or feel too bulky.  Having the time setting stem at the 4 o'clock position is a nice plus at it won't dig into the back of your hand.  This is for everyday wear, so the basic band is fine, although I guess one could "dress up" the watch with a metal or leather band.
