A few months ago I looked at my watch collection.  A couple of them are quite beautiful, works of art really, but when the battery died it was just too much of a hassle to take them to the mall and get a new battery installed.  So for the past couple of years I have been basically buying throwaway watches.  What I really wanted was a versatile, reliable watch that could dress up or down, and this is the one I chose.  Don't think I've ever had a watch with a leather band but it turns out to be quite comfortable.  The face is a good size for my wrist, and the numbers are easy to read.  I wear it all the time.  I would have loved it if the face were illuminated, but in all other respects this is totally the watch for me.
