I have been begging my husband to buy one of the newer style big watches. He is a big guy and I thought they would look good on his wrist. Well, when this watch came up for review I snatched it up and gave it to him. He wasn't sure he liked the size of the piece at first but came to enjoy wearing it. Here are his thoughts on the watch:

1. Functions well, and has keeps accurate time.
2. Comfortable to wear.
3. Watch case is big, so must like to wear large faced watch.
4. Packaging very nice, yellow leather.
5. Very nice face, however it needs better contrast between luminous dials and white face background,  Sometimes it is hard to read the time without looking closely.
6. Stop watch is a nice feature and handy like for sports.
7. 24 hour hand is small, somewhat helpful
8. Black leather strap has white stitching that matches the white face of the watch.  White stitching is very noticeable.
9. Crown does not lock.
10. The manual says most watches have a screw down crown.  This one doesn't, or at least mine doesn't, so not sure if it is broken or truly doesn't screw down.
11. Date is at an angle (i.e. not at the 3 o'clock position) so if your not used to it, it takes some getting used to.
12. MSRP of $595 seems ridiculous when it is selling for $77.33.  For $77.33 it is a good bargain for Japanese Quartz movement, flame fusion crystal, stainless steel case, and thick leather strap..

Recommended for larger frames for casual use. 3.5 Stars
