Bought this watch as a surprise for my wife, and as a change-up for her usual business-dress watches.... "perfect for casual Fridays," as she puts it. While large for a typical woman's watch, it's very light weight and comfortable to wear. I'm sure a metal watch-band combo of the same size would go unworn. With Amazon sale pricing, this was a good buy.... certainly a bargain for the "wife-points" earned.
