This watch is so better than the pictures make it look.  It's a big watch but not overpowering.  It works very well keeping great time and looks good on my wrist. Do not be afraid of the Flame Fusion Crystal, It's better than sapphire contrarry to popular opinion. You don't have to go to a jeweler to shorten the band, pushing the pins out with a small paperclip will work just fine.  I love this watch.;
