This is my second Orient and my first steel band; I usually wear leather. It took me a day or two to adjust the band and get used to the heavier material but I have come to love the setup. It's very comfortable and the look is awesome. The metallic blue face is beautiful and compliments the steel band; I don't think I'd use anything but a steel band here. My only complaint is that the glow in the dark hands don't work for very long, but I don't really need that so it's minor.

The movement is what you'd expect from Orient. The seconds hand moves very cleanly, the hands are accurate and the day/date complication takes 90-min to 2hr to fully switch. I've worn it every day this week and the time accuracy has been +10-20sec a day. All of this is very good for the price point. Also, unlike some other Orient watches which use the uncommon 21mm band, this one uses the very common 22mm size.
