The watch is beautiful & as pictured. Unfortunately I hadn't had it more than a day before one of the decorative pieces on the band broke off. It's in an inconspicuous spot and I need the watch. I don't want to hassle with a replacement, but I hope more pieces don't fall off. $40 seems like enough to pay to expect a sturdier Timex. Also, I have a relatively small wrist and this band is a little tight, though that wasn't a factor in the breakage.
