I selected this watch for a Valentine's Day gift from my husband. I loved the look of it and I do enjoy the larger size watch faces since I like to easily see the time. At first I was clueless as to why the watch kept losing time but after reading the reviews, I realized I had to wind it on a regular basis! This gave me pause since I am accustomed to battery-powered watches and never give maintenance a second thought until the watch stops and I have to replace the battery. It would be nice if this watch offered both options. I had to return this beautiful watch for two reasons. The first reason was that I found it difficult to see the time. Between the white face and silver colors and the crystals winking at me, it was difficult to ascertain the time with a quick look. I had to actually examine the watch face, which is not why I wear a watch. The second reason was that I was unsure how often and how many turns were needed per day to keep the watch "wound." I would turn the winder whenever I thought of it but since I didn't wear it every day, I would reach for it only to discover that it had stopped or the time was wrong and this necessitated resetting the time all over again. After too many days of needing to set the time when I picked up the watch to wear, I decided that I wasn't diligent enough to own this watch. I don't want to constantly wonder if my watch is displaying the correct time. I do love the sweeping second hand but had to return it since this watch was just not for me.
