I'm not one to normally wear a watch or jewelry.  I saw this in the Vine newsletter and thought how nice it looked and how popular ceramic watches have been recently.  I decided to grab it.

First, the packaging it comes in is very nice and chic.  I guess I'm too used to paying $10 for watches and the cheap packaging from the local department store.  I opened up the case and had to 'unwrap' the watch.  The protective wrapping was a little challenging to get off.  I had to use scissors and that made me nervous.  I survived though and didn't scratch the band.

I put it on and realized how big the band was.  I'm not THAT out of sync with fashion.  I know it's 'vogue' to have a loose watch, especially a woman's watch with a large face.  Well, this one is.  However, when you add in the weight of the ceramic material and the looseness of the band, you may find yourself with a watch being knocked against things or having it fall off your arm.  I'm not a small person and my wrist is slightly above average in diameter so a petite woman would probably have a hard time wearing this watch unless she got some links removed.

Another thing I noticed is that it really isn't for everyday use.  I tried wearing it to work and it looked 'out of place.'  I'll probably use it for dressy occasions but stick to wearing nothing to work (watch-wise).

Overall it's a gorgeous watch, however, it has its downfalls.  If you're a regular watch-wearer (and especially if you're used to wearing ceramic watches) you might like this one.
