I got this pretty much being able to see that the band was junk. I planned on getting a new band anyway. But once I got the watch... it was really really cheap looking. Just because a watch is under $30 or $40 doesn't mean it has to look cheap. This watch is worth about $5, and is good for a little kid. It looks better in the photo... but the "gold" color of it is sooooo dark - that's what makes it super cheap looking. A faux gold color should be light like gold, not like it's trying to look like Brass. It just looks really cheap. Even with a better watch band. Well, that was all in vain this watch kept stopping. I could not depend on it to keep time and threw it away.
