This watch is just what I wanted!  The face is a nice size; not too large or small. The luminescence of the hands and number positions is a bonus.  The expansion band is such a good change from bracelet clasps which are a daily hassle. The watch was already charged when it came to me so just daily wear has been sufficient for it to run perfectly!  I'm not sure why a few of the reviewers had issues with having to have links removed from the band; I always have to have this done regardless of band type. I just took it to the jewelers in town and within a few minutes and $5 later the watch fits perfectly.  And best of all, I will not have to visit the jewelers for batteries again and again since it has the wonderful Eco-Drive facility! Wonderful product.
