i love that this watch is different than most watches.  The face and where the strap attaches is unique in that it has the added piece between the strap and watch.  It is just enough to make it interesting to me - kind of old-fashioned looking.  i like the thin band, and the numbers on the face are big enough. it is a casual, everyday watch.  it tells time fine.  i must have looked at 100's of watches, some $100+, before making my decision.  i am quite pleased to have found somethng i like better than the others for a great price.  watches have become quite a fashion statement, but this one turned out to be the best - for me.
