I received this as a Christmas present and I really like it. Not normally what I would've picked out since I usually go for the stainless steel look but I do really like these bands. Once I did it a few times, the bands are very easy and quick to change. They were a little stiff at first but after wearing a few times, they are more pliable and comfortable. Love the mother of pearl face and have gotten compliments on this watch. The only negative is that I wish it had the date on the face.
