I happened upon a mall gift store that sold a few watches and this caught my eye. Sorry Amazon, you know I always prefer you. Don't be mad, I overpaid and should have come to you instead. ;)  It was an impulse buy. I don't regret it and I highly recommend it.

I own a number of watches and I like ones that stand out, look unique, and shimmer/sparkle under warm lights without being gaudy. This one does that very well. It blings, but not over the top. A gold watch with diamonds would look ridiculous on me. I'm a huge fan of Citizen, and prefer their Eco Drive watches because there's nothing worse than a sudden dead watch battery, and the Eco Drive's never die. But the Eco's cost more - worth every penny of course, a worthy investment - but in this case, for an everyday Citizen office watch with some bling for under a hundred bucks, this is a really nice one. I NEED to have both the day and date on any watch I wear or else it's useless to me. I need to know it's not just the 19th day of the month, but that it's SATURDAY the 19th. I don't need the year and the month (well, I like to see the month too, but I use digital watches for that - check out the Casio Pro Trek's - HIGHLY recommended).

What is this watch, like $85-ish on Amazon? I paid a lot more, but that's what you get when you impulse buy at a mall. Anyway, I completely recommend this, it's not too small, not too large, has a nice light weight to it so you won't be flicking your wrist all the time adjusting it's position, it's very good quality and I don't see how you could go wrong.

By the way - taking links out of the band to re-size it it among the easiest methods available.
