I bought this watch about 6 months ago and rarely reach for a different watch to wear (have over 20).  I like the fact that it is a stand out watch.  Not white like so many others.  If you were as pale as I am you wouldn't want a white ceramic watch either.  This beige tone is very neutral and looks great on light and darker skin (my friends have tried to borrow it).  I like that it is a solid watch.  It is heavy, but not ridiculously so.  It is a bigger look, but I find it very comfortable.  I clean between the links w/ canned air and a brush and no problem.  I do get compliments on the band first and then more on the face of the watch itself. It seems deeper than it is because the ring with the roman numerals is closer to the crystal than the center disc of the watch face.  I haven't gotten a single ding or scratch in six months and I don't baby my watches at all.  The roman numerals are easy to read and the date is a breeze to change because it has its own stop on the crown so you don't have to go through 31 days if you went to far winding.  It also has the screw down crown which helps with the water resistance.  Gave it a 5 star because it deserves the five star and on top of all the good stuff, the price is great.
