I bought this as a knock-around watch to wear while working outside in the woods, but this is almost a dress watch. The watch face is a cream color. The band is like suede. It feels really nice! Another post complained that the watch is small. I just compared it to my other watches and it's about average. Then again, I'm a small-ish man, so it works well for me. The numbers and hands are large and easy to read. The Indiglo backlight works great. And while the date has to be set manually, I can read it without my glasses. As I said, I planned to use this as my work watch, but it may very well become my every day watch. Sweet!
