I'm not a "fancy" watch person, but this timepiece is striking in appearance and solid in construction. The weight inspires confidence in a durable design, the band a smooth ceramic that almost feels metallic. The attachment points are tight and strong, and while the size was quite large, a trip to the jeweler (maybe $20, if that) fixed the issue. The jeweler commented on it, actually, admiring it and exclaiming "Oh, this is a very good watch! It's very well-built!", so his professional and unsolicited opinion sealed the deal on this revue.

As other reviewers have commented, the watch looks MUCH more beautiful in person. The picture makes it look like some plastic 50's-diner-themed toy, but in real life, the contrast between the black and white is much more subtle, and the black is more of a pewter color, perhaps lighter, and the overall visual effect isn't so clunky. It really looks and feels expensive, and people will notice it.
