I am a recreational Medievalist and I got this watch to wear with my Medieval garb because it isn't so glaringly modern.  I've had it several months now and I am very happy with it.  It's long chain fits easily over my head and is easy to pick up and read.  I get compliments on it whenever I wear it, whether with garb or regular clothes.  It would make a great gift for someone who is into steam punk.
