I gave this to my husband for Christmas and he loves it.  He has been wanting an EcoDrive for a long time, but I was hesitant without seeing first because of the high cost of most of the eco-drive line of watches.  The price for this watch was just right.  He loves that you don't have to change the battery. In his old watch, we had to go to the jeweler once a year to have it changed.  The watch looks sharp and professional - good for casual and everyday wear. We did have to get some links removed to fit him, but that can be done just about anywhere.
