This watch seems well made and robust. I chose it after a bit of research for a watch that would be of simple movement and primarily, easy to see. No disappointment here: even a sidelong glance will give the time...in fact, the numerals appear to be always fluorescing, which is a great advantage....you could tell the time from across the room-if you had a long enough arm!-It meets my wishes entirely and looks good on the wrist-mine are quite large. I have a little concern about the band's durability though it seems sturdy at the outset and an easy replacement if need be. Very pleased overall.
