It's nice when what you want and need come together perfectly.  I've had this watch for about a year now and its easy to take for granted because it requires so little thought.  It's certainly not the easiest watch to set initially, but once you do (with the help of the instruction manual), you're good to go.  It accounts for the relative distance from a leap year to keep the daily calendar accurate.  Aside from a quick adjustment during daylight savings, you won't touch the thing.  Best of all, no worry about battery replacement.  I have found that the time spent daily on my dresser under man made light coupled with time spent outside on my wrist when I wear short sleeves is more than enough to keep it charged.  When it gets low it ticks 2 seconds off at a time instead of one, but I have not experienced that yet.  I personally think it's a sharp looking watch, good weight about it, and not over the top.  I agree with the sentiment that a more durable face would have been agreeable, but the scratches I have after a year of daily wearing are minor.  I have no doubt that this watch will last and highly recommend it for the price.

*Update - 2 1/2 years and I have not once experienced the two second tick that would indicate a need to place the watch under more direct and/or regular lighting.  Each time a friend or colleague needs to drop their watch off for a new battery I am reminded why this was such a good choice.  Recent customer photo I included shows that it has held up well to the bumps and knocks that come with my daily life!
