I really like the way the watch looks on my wrist. Comfortabke band, great look. Learning how to use the tachymeter is something you can look up online, but to be hionest I don't ever see having to use it in a everyday scenario. Good to know for conversation purposes if anyone ever notices it and ask you what the numbers on the side are used for. Could be a nice opener when talking to a girl for the first time. If she is smart that is. LOL
