I was given the chance to review this watch and I took the opportunity based on the look, apparent quality and brand recognition of the watch.  I like it and wear it frequently.

Yes, Virginia, this watch is pretty big.  I am a bit above average in size, and this watch is certainly not small. However, large watches seem to be the new fashion, and this watch fits right in.  The face and thickness are going to be noticed by people.  This watch will not fit under your shirt sleeve if you wear it  with a suit.  This may be a selling point however, as this watch is made to be noticed.

The band is leather, and seems to be of good quality.  The leather is thick (about a 1/4 inch at the base of the watch) and the leather is supple.  I have only had the watch for a few weeks, so I cannot comment on the longevity of the band, but it seems like it will last if cared for.  This is not a watch to be worn every-day in every situation, as much as the occasional event in my opinion.

The watch face is white, with nice, easy to read numbers, with the black dial faces embedded inside and the white accent on the leather band, it has a nice clean feeling to it.  Given the size of the watch, reading the numbers for the time will not be difficult!  The base of the watch is chromed (but not cheaply so at all) such that the watch has a nice, modern look to it.

The watch features the date, an apparent stopwatch and countdown timer that I could not figure out how to use without reading the instructions (I think items like this should be intuitive).  I don't think the features, beyond the date, really add anything overall to the watch (meaning these are nice features, but little used).

I have worn this watch in a few different settings, and it is noticed.  For a fashion piece, this is a very nice watch that I wouldn't hesitate to purchase.  I think the watch reflects the current fashion trends and is a nice compliment for a fashion conscious, well-dressed man.
