I am a watch nut. I have enough watches to change almost every day of each month. I love this watch because it is easy to set, easy to read both day and night and has an elegance about it that I find striking in appearance. This is a substantial timepiece and covers most of my wrist. The stem has an elegant faceted "jewel" on it. What I like most of all, is I can wear it in the shower. I am very pleased with this purchase and the price on Amazon was unbeatable.
