I am really impressed with this watch. It really shines under halogen lighting. The crystals have a beautiful rainbow effect when the light hits it just right. It keeps time perfectly. Nice to have the date too. Very durable and well made. I get comments all the time. I would recommend this watch. My watch did not come in the box as it shows for some reason. It came bubble-wrapped in an envelope. A little disappointing, but I didn't need the box anyway. If you want to give it for a gift, you may want to call to see if it is suppose to have a box. Enjoy! I sure am.
