I adore this watch. I previously had a cheap watch with a large blue-faced dial and similar band to this one, which died after a humidity incident, and I've missed it ever since. I decided to spend some birthday money on this one as a replacement, and I'm very happy with it. It's gorgeous, to start with. I like a bigger dial and the numbers are exquisitely easy to read. The magnified date is nice as well, though the glass bubble on top of the face isn't as pretty as the rest of the watch. It wears wonderfully, once I got the band properly sized for my wrist. The packaging was wonderful as well. It made me feel like I'd bought something much more expensive than I actually did. Very glad I made this purchase.
