I've had this watch for about 6 months now, and I have to say that it is well worth the money.

The build of the watch is conservative in a way, in that it is only 40mm. The color combination though is what really sets it out there, with a deep blue face set off by the gold and silver accents. An interesting thing to note is that in the light, the blue has kind of a sunburst effect which really adds on to its beauty, and in the shade, it features a more royal blue color. As for the arms, the second hand is impressive as it does seem to glide across the face of the watch, and the minute and hour arms add on to the sharpness of the watch. The lum I never had an issue with. It lasts the better part of the night for me and is descent. Looking at it, it is easy to see the similarities between it and the Rolex Submariner. Don't assume though that that's what you're getting, because it's not. What you are getting though is a beautiful, functional watch and at mere fraction of the cost. If you want to know, I got mine for $95.99. I do recommend though that you get the $4 sizing tool cause if you take it to a jeweler, it'll cost you an easy $15.

Now to a problem a lot of people seem to have with the watch: it's power reserve. All my reply is, is what did you expect. This is not a quarts watch, it's automatic, meaning that it has no battery but rather is powered by reserved kinetic energy you can make either by wearing it or winding it or both more preferably. This makes it less accurate in the fact that it is powered on a continuously changing power source. Honestly though, if you plan on wearing it everyday, you won't notice it too much. Mine only loses a little less than two minutes a week. My Seiko 5 I admit does a better job, but simply doesn't have the same heft and looks as this watch. It is a good alternative if you like that and you can look it up on Amazon. Mine was the SNK375K1 and I have a review and hopefully some pictures too on it if you would like to look at it.

Another problem I've read on from other customers is that the gold plating on the band wears off too fast. I would have to attest to this though, because as it does wear off eventually, it's kind of expected under certain conditions. I mean I've rubbed part of mine off, but that's on the parts where it is exposed to constant rubbing on a desk most of the day. That though, took me the better part of 4 months to do, and on a daily basis of 8 hours. So these people who complain about it coming off in a week are obviously doing something a bit more than what they are saying.

If you have any questions or want any specific pictures taken of the watch, just leave a comment below.
