The watch is great.  Excellent materials and nice matte finish on the bezel.  The only negative is the brown leather band is very stiff.  By no means is it soft.  For me I have to pre-bend it before putting the watch on each day.  Other than that it's a great watch.  Keeps excellent time and I love how the orange markers are easy to see during the day and even in low light.  Don't let the band issue keep you from getting it!  Oh ya, the clasp matches perfectly to the watch bezel so finding a replacement band is nearly impossible.  I have a black NATO band with matte black clasp but the band is too thin and cheap looking for this watch.
