This is an attractive watch that stands out.  It is not a feather weight but also not too large for those of us with small wrists. The design enables the user to readily see the second hand.  Packaging to me did not include instructions for closing the band, which was unfortunate.  Stuhrling provides step by step instructions on their website. While it takes a tad more time to put the watch on, the durablity of the band saves the the customer money in the long run.  This watch pleases me in all respects.
