OMG is my first reaction to this watch. The size is just perfect for my 8-1/2" wrist - a 43mm case with a 21mm band (21mm at the leather, 20mm at the nylon). The band is a good length for me, but I can see where a larger-wristed person might want to replace the strap with a slightly longer one. A 20mm replacement strap will fit just fine. The dial and face are classic Swiss Army. The metallic red bezel is so . . . I don't know . . . so smooth and round! It just looks great. The hand-setting action is pure Swiss. There's nothing cheap about this watch. I love the bi-material band (leather and nylon), with leather being at all the ends, right where you want it. The hand lumination is better than most average watches. Comfort is nearly unsurpassable. I can barely tell it's on my wrist right now. OK, let's get to why this watch is not a $500 watch. Even though it's a Victorinox Original Swiss Army watch, made in Switzerland, by Swiss people, using Swiss parts; it's not complicated, with date only at the 3:00 position and 24 hour dial markers. The ceramic bezel is the fanciest thing about this watch. But, it's not meant to be fancy. No chronograph, no moon phase, no alarms, etc. Just pure and simple Swiss perfection. And - let's face it - the case is plastic. But, I'm guessing (hoping!) that it's not cheap plastic. If I have any negative issues with the case material, I will most certainly update this review with additional information. In the mean time, I'm going to enjoy wearing this piece, and adding it to my collection!
