This watch is simplistic elegance personified! The date window is readable, and the fit and finish is excellent. The watch can hold it's own with a pair of jeans and t-shirt, or a thousand dollar suit. I've never owned a thousand dollar suit, but this watch makes my three hundred dollar suit look like one. The watch is comfortable, and the size is right if you like a larger face. For under two hundred bucks I haven't found anything I like better. The second hand lines up correctly on the ticks, and the chronograph is large enough to read. It is amazing how easy it is to read, considering the silver tone markings set against the silver face. I really like it. It's a keeper!
