I wanted a watch looks nice enough to wear in dressy situations, but I don't believe in jewelry and don't see the point in a $3,000 watch that doesn't keep accurate time.  I wanted something better than a Timex, and this surely fits the bill. The watch band comes very large (about 8" girth), so to resize it you would need to take it to a jeweler, or buy a little watch band pin pusher (which is what I did).  Search for "Watchband Link Remover Tool" and you'll find lots of offers on Amazon. The one I bought was less than $4 and did the job just fine.
