I couldn't find a ladies watch that had a pretty, two-tone face & a tan band to save my soul- that had a big enough dial, that is. Every women's watch that I looked at (and I went over a lot of reviews) had complaints that the dial was too small even on very petite, thin women. As I'm quite tall & full-figured, am no minimalist when it comes to wearing jewelry or makeup and wanted a band in this exact color, this watch became my sole pick. I'm happy with it. The two-tone is done well- because it's a tan band, the gold stands out more than the silver. It's a casual watch based on advertising, but one can get away w/ it in dressy situations, especially if additional jewelry is worn elsewhere. The dial is a little bit big on me, I have to admit. At first I thought "Hmm, maybe this is a little too mannish..." But it grew on me, and now I like it. The time & day of the month are easy to set. But the day of the week? That's a different story. Even w/ reading the instructions repeatedly, I cannot get the day of the week to change (it came to me running one day ahead of schedule, maybe because it's a leap year). I'm not thrilled w/ that, but I didn't spend a lot of money on this, so I can't really complain too much. It's a sturdy watch w/ a comfortable band & lovely dial color, and the band is adjustable to many different wrist sizes. The leather is of good-quality, as is the stitching- which is often problematic in a cheap watch (stitching done poorly=leather that falls apart).

Update as of 10/14/12: I'm having trouble with the date not moving forward even when the clock is running correctly. Several times it has stopped running on me & then starts up again. I would think with a dead battery, it wouldn't start re-running on it's own. I can't count on my watch to have the right time or date. It's a bi*ch to get the actual date matched up with the day of the week if the clock stops or slows on you. Overall, if I'd known better, I would not have bought the watch. For only a few months of ownership, it's been too unreliable. Ultimately? Looks good but not reliable in date or time (kind of defeats the purpose of wearing a watch!) I still wear it for looks (it IS holding up well in the construction department, I must day), but rely on my cell phone for the right time. What a bummer.
