I have just had this watch two days and find it to be one of the best watches I have had.  It is thinner than any of my Seiko's, Elgin's, or Fossil's (which by the way were all good watches).  It is excellent looking, extremely quiet, and it keeps time well.  I have had no trouble with the clasp.  One just has to follow the directions the first time for both clasp function and adjustment.  After that first time, one has it in their intuitive actions.
