I bought this as a birthday present for my wife. She had it in her wish list, so I knew she liked the styling already. But she was thrilled with it when it arrived, saying that it looked even better in person. The quality of the band was excellent, usually a good indicator of a nicely built watch. And the watch does indeed seem to be well put together. I personally thought the "diamonds" looked a tiny bit cheap, but my wife completely disagrees, so she wins the review rating. I would have given 4 stars, though, so don't let me leave you with the impression I didn't care for it. And Bulova has always been a very good watch maker of mid priced (100.00 to 400.00)watches, in my experience.
