I received this watch as a gift.  The 100 meter water resistance and shock resistance are very convenient features.  This is the second orient watch I've owned and I don't think you can go wrong with the feature rich models.  The blue face is beautiful and the luminosity of the hands and markers make this watch easy to read at night.  The only feature I didn't care for was the watch band because of where the buckle rests on my wrist.  I had a nylon U.N. watch band in my drawer and just swapped it for the rubber watchband.  Even if I had had to buy a new nylon watch band, it still would have been an extraordinary bargain.  The timekeeping aspect of this watch is excellent.  I recommend it highly.
