the band is the issue with this watch:
- too long for watch face of this size- it should be more proportional. I've shortened the band as much as I can and there is still a gap between it and the bottom of my wrist. Of course this is due in part to tucking the excess length of band under the watch. As someone else noted, that excess tends to poke out and I find myself constantly pushing it back under. If you are a woman with a large wrist the length will work for you but the face might look too small on your wrist.
- band adjustment takes a few minutes to figure out as the accompanying diagrams are tiny, but you can work it out. I found it was more easy to get the band adjusted and snapped ON then it was to get OFF. Snap it on right and you'll never lose it, that's for sure. The band is very stiff mesh; this isn't a loose laying link bracelet and so it doesn't conform well to the shape of your wrist.  Having said all that, the mesh is very well constructed and very classy.

As for the face: the photo makes it look white but it's a silver/chrome. The gold numerals are a little dull- someone noted that on the silver numeral version of this watch you can barely see the numerals. You can see the gold ones but they don't jump out at you.

I really thought about returning it but I'm trying it out and it's growing on me. It's certainly sleek and eye catching
