First, you should know this watch feels substantial. It's heavy and could be used as a weapon (or an arm lengthener, your choice.)

Packaging is very nice, but they could have used more attention to the instructions that came inside. There was one set of instructions for various watches inside the box. Took a long time to figure out just which watch I had and even longer to actually figure out how to use the stems and buttons.

Which leads me to say that the dials and hands are simply confusing. Maybe mine just doesn't work but the buttons to time something just don't make sense. Some of the dials move, some don't, some move a bit then freeze up. Nothing ever resets like the instructions say they are supposed to. So the timing part of this watch is just crap. No other way to put it. I've tried every combination, re-read the instructions, everything I can think of - no luck.

Having said that, the watch is stunningly pretty and impressive on the arm. Seems to keep time, though for the money so will a Timex.

Not sure I would buy another one this big or complex without testing it out completely.
