I choose this watch simply because I needed a watch to use when in the water as my job sometimes allows me to work in rivers and streams, rare but fun when allowed.  When I received the timepiece I found it to be a bit impractical due to the heavy weight (I have mild carpal tunnel), the large face plate and my small wrists. I wasn't expecting it to be quite so large when I ordered it.  Others in my family however found the watch very useful, my son fell in love with it immediately upon seeing it so if you have a teen in your home that likes "Serious Bling" as my son referred to it, this would make a great gift.  My dad liked the watch for the very reasons I disliked it, the large face plate and easy to see numbers, so the watch is quite useful to those with vision impairments.

As far as appearance it is a beautiful watch, just too heavy for my wrists and too big for my taste.  But, as with any watch, beauty is in the eye of the purchaser.  What I don't like, others will and as a watch it does what it's supposed to do, keeps time perfectly.
