Cool looking watch from viewing distance and it really went well with a variety of casual clothes.  With it's case & lug design, brushed finish, and style of indices, it really bridges a gap between something like a field watch and a dressier watch.  I bought the one with the blue/black band and the band looked particularly cool.  What I didn't like was that on the model I got and many others from this line, the dial itself (not the hour indices) looked cheap, like it was dull cardstock with minute indices printed on. The logo and seconds indices were printed in the weakest lume you'll ever see and gave it an unnecessary greenish-yellow tint. The ones with a textured dial will probably look better.  Even though I got it at half MSRP, I still felt the watch was overpriced and worth less.  I found Seiko Automatics(!), Citizen Eco-drives, Bulova watches with far better materials, features, fit and finish, etc. for less than the typical selling price of these Nixons.  It took some time and effort but it's definitely worth checking out other options.
