This is a big, solid, striking watch.  I really like the styling.  I like the automatic movement (no battery required) with a sweep second hand.  It's more water resistant than most similar watches (50m vs 30m), which means it'll handle being submerged, although that will not be good for the band.  Those are the pros.

The cons of this watch basically revolve around build quality.  I can see parts of the inside of the watch that are unfinished.  The movement is swiss-designed, but cheaply made in China.  It works, at least for now, but it's a bit noisy.  You can hear the flywheel turning, too.  I've heard louder watches, but this is clearly not in the same league as an expensive watch.  Also, the strap will need a few more holes for those of us with smaller wrists.  To be fair, I've had this problem with other (more expensive) watches.  But it wouldn't be that difficult to give this a deployant closure to reduce wear on the strap.  If the watch lasts long enough to justify another strap, I'll invest in a decent one.

So, I give this watch two stars because it's far from perfect and it's also pretending to be much better than it really is.  But I'll wear it for as long as it lasts and I hope to be pleasantly surprised.
