The good:  Calibration with Atomic Clock in Ft. Collins; Countdown Timer; Stainless steel watch band that I hope lasts longer than the resin bands; big display; ability to disable "button sounds" for silent mode switching (does not disable alarms).

The not-so-good:  While band is stainless steel, the watch is mostly plastic; only one alarm; cannot set alarm for a specific day; World Time, while it works well, may not have broad appeal (I would trade it for a more robust set of alarms); the band is a bear to adjust--expect a few links to show wear and tear simply because of band-size adjustment.

Not a bad watch, to be sure, but not necessarily the feature set I would choose if I had a blank slate.  The adjustment on the watch band really leaves something to be desired.  I ended up taking it to the jeweler to complete the adjustment I had begun.
