I find this to be an absolutely beautiful watch. It has a very classy, yet sturdy stainless steel design, with easy to read dial features. The face of the watch includes a magnified date. It also glows in the dark. The only downside to this great watch is the weight. It really seems to be a bit of a weight on the wrist, although when I remove a least two links from the band it will lighten the weight a bit. While I certainly would not pay retail for the watch (at $495), it is a great Amazon price at just $129.
