I was looking for a casual watch with an easy to read dial for daily use.  This one caught my eye due to  it's appearance and reasonable price. I purchased the watch from Amazon and received it promptly (as usual - thanks Amazon!). I don't have huge wrists and some of the current watches are just too large. This one is a nice size, the way all watches used to be (I'm old :-). I've had it for several weeks now. It keeps perfect time, so far. I've managed to accidentally bump or scrub the crystal a couple of times already - wiped it off - no scratches! I like the Eco-Drive feature since it means I may never have to change the battery, which usually compromises a watch's water resistance. The band was stiff to start with, but is now conforming nicely to the shape of my wrist and is comfortable to wear. I'm not sure why the leather backing is there. It seems like the band would be even more comfortable without it. Perhaps to increase longevity. I love its simple design. The hands and numerals are large enough to see at a glance and glow very brightly in low light (I'm prepared for this to diminish over the years). The function, build, fit and finish are perfect with one minor exception. It's something that amazes me, but seems to be common to almost all quartz movement watches. As the second hand ticks, it doesn't land exactly centered on the line or number. On my particular watch, it stops just a bit before the mark. If you look at 20 quartz watches in ANY price range (except for the very rare ones which have a "smooth movement" sweep second hand) you may find one with a second hand that appears to land dead center on the lines or numbers. I received a $1,000 (TH) watch as a gift a couple of years ago. It does the same thing, only worse than this one.
Bottom line:  A very nice looking watch with great features, especially the Eco-Drive, at a reasonable price. It's not for bragging rights, it's for knowing the time of day (day and date too).

UPDATE:  I've now owned this watch for 3 years and 4 months. It keeps perfect time and has never indicated a low charge even though it's not in sunlight very often. I lay it beneath a small fluorescent lamp on our kitchen counter at night. The watch still looks great even though I wear it while working in the yard ad in the garage (some scratches on the crystal if you look close). I've washed oil spots from the strap with dishwashing liquid and it looks like new when it dries. I still get compliments on it and have folks ask me about it.
UPDATE:  I've now on this watch for 7 1/2 years and still could not be more pleased with it. I replaced the band last month with a black Barton band, shown in the photo. The hands and numbers of the face still glow in the dark and, best of all, the watch still keeps almost perfect time. I'll leave it under a florescence night light light when I go to bed, and it's never  shown that the power was low. If it ever quits, I hope they're still available, because I'll replace it with exactly the same thing.
I think this watch is one of the best values of anything I have ever purchased .
