First of all let me say that I love the look of the watch.  It stands out and really catches the eye.  Of course the next thing I noticed is that the face is huge!  I expected the face to be large from the picture and because it's made for a man, but it was still larger than I expected.  Also, the ends of the hands are white and that requires more effort on my part to tell the time.  A quick glance just don't cut it with those white tipped ends over a white background.  I haven't had the opportunity to test the water resistance yet, but we will be going snorkeling/diving on vacation and I definitely plan to test it out then.  The cloth on the band was another surprise.  I guess I just took it for granted that such a high quality time piece would have a leather band.  There is leather underneath the cloth though.  The design of the band and the clasp keep the watch firmly in place and that is a good thing.  The cloth also looks nice.  It isn't cheap looking at all.  Overall, this is a very nice watch.  Unfortunately, I wouldn't pay retail for it, but if you can get it on sale, it's certainly worth it.
