At first I loved it and it has a great potential.
It's looks good a very rough yet elegant.

Initially I gave it 5 starts on Amazon.
So you ask why did I change it to 1 star?
3 month after I got the watch (last March) the rubber strap (where the connecting pins pass through) has broke down.
Initially I though that the rubber was dried out (although the rubber looks as a very high quality rubber).
I removed the strap and found out that the connection point to the watch (where the pins pass) is not really rubber but it is hard plastic covered with rubber.
The plastic is very thin where the pins pass through and now I know that they tend broke very easily.

I contacted customer service and took the watch to an authorized dealer.
I have been told that the strap is not under guarantee so I had to buy a new one.
Well, I liked the watch so I didn't want to throw it away for a strap so I got a new one hoping it will last.
Less then 6 months passed and the new strap broke in exactly the same place as the old one.

It is clear now that the straps of this model is defective and hence I wouldn't recommend this watch to anyone.
A wear of the strap in a common thing (had it also with Seiko) but 3-5 month of lifetime for a strap (~30$) is not very reasonable for a 220$ watch.
Moreover, this is not a standard strap which one can easily find a replacement for.
I tried to ask customer service if they are aware of this issue and got a laconic reply that the strap is not covered under the warranty and I need to get a new one.
It reminded me the answers that customers received from Apple when their 1st gen iPods battery died.
"We don't offer a technical service so you need to get a new iPod" :)
Maybe this is the logic behind this watch????

Bottom line, stay away from this watch unless you would like to visit the service center frequently.
