This was a gift for my wife. She's been telling me that she's wanted a new wristwatch for years now. She formerly worked in a jeweler's shop so she's a bit picky when it comes to things like watches. She wanted something that she knew would be easy to get repair parts for in the unlikely event that it ever had to be repaired. She's mentioned that brands like Citizen had readily available parts and were overall easy to repair by independent shops if needed, (though I expect no issues). She specifically said she didn't want a Fossil because her old Fossil watch failed and a jeweler couldn't repair it without sending it in to the manufacturer for in-house repair which was not worth the cost.

She loves the watch. She told me that it was exactly what she was expecting. It has a distinctly feminine design and it's size is great for a petite frame. It's small, but not tiny and the face is clearly legible. The design would really fit in with nearly any situation. She wears it to work and out to dinner in the same day and it'll work with just about any look/outfit. I really like the mother-of-pearl watch face; it flashes some subtle blue/green colors when it hits the light right. The watch is stainless steel, so no precious metals but that helps keep the price down on an really nice looking watch. It's been running for the last 4 months and time has been dead-on so I expect it keeps time perfectly. The Eco-Drive feature is really nice; it's solar powered and recharges a lithium battery that never needs replacing.
