When I first looked at this watch, an uncontrolled utterance of 'WOW' whispered out of my mouth. It is absolutely attractive in the same way as it would be seeing a magnificent jet fighter plane. Sleekness. Sophistication. The minutes hand dial, the seconds, and the days are in smaller circles inside the larger hour circle. Together they make time look complex, as it should be.

I'm not much into bling. Usually I don't wear a watch, since I have a mobile phone, which shows me the time. Every time--no pun intended--I wear it, I get some reaction from people around me; commenting what a great looking watch it is. I suppose it's a conversation starter, as well.

Aside from the wow-looks of this timepiece, there are real functional elements to it. Most surprising is how quickly you can set time for chronometer purposes using the rotating outer-dial. Secondly, it's much easier to look at a watch when you're driving--rather than reaching into your pocket and taking out your phone; and the car-clock always seems to be wrong. There is indeed an argument to be made for a watch such as this for mission critical uses:  greater speed to check the current time, and the remaining time for the deadline of each task at hand.

The watchband that came with it was a little loose around my wrist, so I bought&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/SE-Watchband-Link-Remover-Tool/dp/B000HDJT6Q/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">SE Watchband Link Remover Tool</a>&nbsp;for a few dollars and it worked just fine (pay attention to the arrows underneath each link that tells you the direction to remove the link-pin.)
