Bought this watch for my girlfriend. She fell in love with it at Macy's, they wanted a little more than a hundred bucks more than what I paid for here on Amazon. She wears it every day and since her birthday last month and falls for it since. Nothing to complain about but I did notice that the band is smaller than most watches. I'm assuming that since it is braided that causes the band to be smaller. Try before you buy and double check return policy on vendors. ***Update 12/17/2013*** Since Feb my girl friend still in love with this watch and wears it 5 days of the week since I gave it too her back in Feb. I notice that the color has turned to a dark brown. I originally wanted to get her the dark brown one knowing this will happen. She still likes it more since it has an original look to it now. The band is even more smaller than before seems to be shrinking as leather does.
