the watch is heavy and pretty big by most standards, the strap is made of fabric on the outside leather on the inside, as far as i can tell is good quality and i have gotten it wet and sweated on it....no glue coming apart nothing; i gought this watch for the price and was like: well if it doesn't last at least i didn't pay much for it....but i am starting to thing i got a really good deal. The watch is a looker I always get compliments from friends and family, so yeah, buy it.
