This is a pretty smart looking specimen, which is good, because it takes a lot of real estate on a wrist. The colors pop, particularly with the high contrast silver rim and the brads on the leather band. The crown is a bit larger than I think it needs to be, even to fulfill its pledge to be easy to set. If the watch is worn too low on the wrist, it's actually a bit obtrusive when using the hand.

When it's not, the watch is plenty comfortable. The leather band is soft and flexible, and the unit is not as heavy as its size might suggest. The large face can actually be a real advantage to people whose eyes aren't what they used to be (not that I know anybody like that ;)), and the profile of the watch is low, so it doesn't feel generally bulky.

The only thing thing that makes me uneasy about this watch is the list price. My husband likes expensive watches, so I'm no stranger to them, but I have to wonder why a watch that can retail for $495 would be currently offered by Amazon at $59.99. A quick search through Google's shopping results doesn't show it anywhere for more than $99 except in two eBay sales (other listings on the same site are considerably lower) and one evidently very optimistic website that wants full price (which site I've made a mental note to avoid). In judging the value of the watch (and what constitutes a good price for it), I'd be inclined to ignore the list price.  At this point, $59.99 seems to be an excellent deal, with $99 the average going rate. Given the vagaries of the market, that could change.

On the whole, the watch feels and looks like quality. It's comfortable, it comes with a sturdy display box, and it tells time. It may not have a lot of bells and whistles, but it's a really good watch regardless.
