I just have to rave about this watch.  I have had one like this- exactly the same except with a white face- for many years.  A few months ago I lost it.  I doubted that I would ever find another like it and was too busy to try (how nice to find it is still being made).  Well, the other day I found the watch lying clear as day on the surface of my compost heap.  I must have taken kitchen waste out to the compost pile on my way out the door and had the watch in my hand to put on at a stop light.  It wouldn't have fallen off as the clasp is good and tight. The chickens must have buried it for several months and then uncovered it again as they scratched around. And there it was, after being out in the dirt and weather as good and beautiful as new and with the correct time!  What a joy! When they say it is water resistant, they are quite right about that! It reminded me of the old Timex ads- takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin.'

I love the simplicity of the design and the delicate size and the fact that it keeps perfect time and never needs batteries.  What a watch!  I have two quibbles: 1) adjusting the links yields a watch band that is either a little too big or a little too small for me and 2) it is a bit tricky to clasp the band, hence carrying it to put on at a stop light rather than taking precious time before leaving the house to do it.  I ordered watch of a similar design with a stretch band thinking that would be the answer to both of these issues but it was too big!  It could stretch to fit a larger wrist but a smaller wrist is an impossibility.  So my sister got a very nice birthday present.  I just push the band of my dear old watch a little further up my arm than I would prefer to wear it.  That is a minor issue for such a lovely watch.  I would never want for a better watch than this one (except with a properly fitting band!)
