Admittedly, I harbored some trepidations about a watch with rhinestones --- which when I was a child were in our home considered the perfect symbol of kitch, borax, or in plain English, gaudiness.

But I like it!

The black background behind silver-colored numbers and hands on the face are quite handsome, and the fake measuring devices are cute, and not distracting.

Even the rhinestones (choke) are actually not bad.

I desperately needed a new watch, and this one is a perfect sporty solution.

The only slight drawback is the acrylic band, which causes sweat. My solution for that is to leave the watch band one notch looser than I would otherwise.

Nice.
