The watch is 2" edge-to-edge and the crown sticks out another 1/2".  I was a little cautious about ordering since some people had mentioned that the watch band is short, but unless you have incredibly large wrists I think you'll be fine.

My wrist is just at 8.5" in circumference and it this watch fits - loosely - on the second-to-last hole in the band.  If I want a tight fit I can cinch it down to the 4th hole on the band.  So even with a big wrist there is plenty of band and even enough if you want to give the watch a little play on your arm.  With the crown sticking out a full 1/2" having this extra play is nice to help reduce it digging into the back of your hand (which it will do).

One thing that surprised me was how heavy the watch is.  I tossed it on my postal scale and it came in at a whopping 0.45 pounds - for a watch - that's 7.2 oz, folks!  You will notice this on your wrist and you will notice if you accidently bang into a wall because you'll gouge the wall!  After about a day I stopped really noticing the weight when wearing it, but if I take the watch off and put it back on I really notice it for 10 - 15 minutes because it's so heavy.

The little chain that holds the crown-cap is a little annoying.  I really noticed it and felt it jingling around the first day I wore the watch.  Now I don't notice it much, but every once in a while I'll feel it and briefly wonder if a bug is on my wrist.  I haven't decided yet if I'm going to take some needle nose pliers and remove the chain yet, I'm still 50/50 on that.

It seems to keep time just fine.  My example has been running pretty spot on and I haven't noticed it being slow or fast yet.

The lume on it at night is outrageous.  All of the numbers, lettering, and hour markers glow, the hands glow, and the 1/4" thick ring around the dial glows.  It seems to hold the glow really well, being easily readable in the middle of the night after several hours in darkness.

There are only two things I miss on this watch; it doesn't have is a second hand and it doesn't have a rotating bezel.

The "retro" Russian lettering and "CCCP" are kind of cool.

This is definitely a watch that will get noticed.  Even if people don't ask you directly, you'll catch them glancing at it.  For the price, it's a steal.
