The watch looks really nice. But it doesn't have any illumination capabilities. Also, the band has that "pre-worn" look to it... I wasn't really sure how I felt about that. The coating on the watch case seems durable - I've bumped mine into things a number of times and there aren't any scratches on the watch case. This is a pretty good "fashion" watch... it's practicality could be debated due to the lack of illumination.
