My family got this watch from Amazon as a gift for me. It comes in a nice Tissot box, more than what you'd expect at this price range, especially considering it's Swiss Made. The watch casing itself is thinner than I expected, but beautiful. The face is elegant and crisp. Like the product description says, the band is synthetic leather, so it's a bit stiff at first, but it softened up after some wear (applying a small amount of mineral oil will speed up the process). As other reviewers have said, the watch ticks pretty loudly. I didn't think I'd care, but when I'm in bed at night, I can hear it ticking on the nightstand beside my bed. Sometimes annoying but not a deal breaker, overall the watch is an amazing choice for the money, and I get compliments on it all the time.
