I recently received a Tag Heuer watch as an incentive for 15 years at my job. It is terribly heavy. For the price of them, titanium should come standard! Comparatively, my new Casio feels like it weighs nothing on my arm. As soon as I opened up the shipping carton, the hands automatically set themselves to the correct time. I would recommend a spot of plastic cement between the inside of band and the loop that catches the end of the strap when the watch is buckled on, the loop keeps sliding up the strap and the end sticks out. It arrived fully charged and the instruction sheet says that it only requires 1/2 day of light exposure per month to keep it charged up.
