I adore this watch. To say I was shocked and pleased upon opening and wearing it would be an understatement. The first thing that I love about it is that it looks expensive without carrying the price tag. The band is rubber but not stiff. I have worn watches with rubber bands that were near impossible to close due to their inflexibility but this was almost as supple as leather. The dial is another blessing, the numerals (decently sized) are in rose gold against a white background and they truly pop in low light. I can't think of a single complaint. I have a job and small children and it is nice to wear a watch to work and when I get home not have to worry when one of my kids decides to latch onto my arm and treat me like a jungle gym.
