This is undoubtably a pretty watch. I know this based on other peoples'  reaction to it because my requirements are only accuracy and durability. Time and again I had people say "what a neat watch." The  watch looks expensive. The rubber watchband does not acquire dirt like plastic bands tend to and the face is easy to read. It is also very comfortable, no pinching or squeezing. I guess, "what more could you want". The bling of the crystals and rubber watch band seem a little silly and I do not wear this to work outside because I would have to clean it. For now it my "dressy watch"!
