This is a very pretty watch and keeps good time.  I will agree with some of the other reviews that the bands are stiff. They are also not the colors that are shown!  I received 2 off white/cream/yellowish bands and a red, brown and black.  The main reason I purchased this watch was due to the price and also because I have another Invicta watch and wanted some extra band colors. What I really have are duplicate colors. One thing that I have found to be helpful with the stiffness of the bands is to manipulate and bend them to loosen them up.  It helps a little.  In my case, the leather quality is adequate as I haven't had any splitting or breaking thus far.  I would recommend the watch but just remember, the bands may not be as shown.
