As a disclaimer I did not purchase this watch from Amazon but from an authorized dealer.  Doing it again I might go the Amazon route to save some money.

I've had the watch over a year and have really grown to love it.  I was not that crazy about the leather strap as humid summers just make it uncomfortable and purchased the matching bracelet from another online vendor - I would suggest ordering it with the bracelet and then purchase an aftermarket leather strap if you want.

As for accuracy, I wear the watch 24x7 except when showering and it runs roughly -4/sec per day.  While not COSC (Google it) certified, this is within those specifications which is pretty impressive given that much more expensive mechanical watches may not offer accuracy as good as this.  If having a watch that's spot on every day is critical to you then you should go for an atomic quartz watch.

When I first ordered the watch I was accidentally sent the smaller 36mm watch and found it to be too small.  The 42mm is just right and will not be ridiculously large on the average wrist.

I will likely purchase another Hamilton based on my experience with this one.
