I'll start by saying that this watch is a little smaller than I was expecting, and that the color of the band looks different from the photos. It is a more reddish-brown, a dark mahogany color, but it is still very nice. I have a small wrist, so I don't mind the fact that the watch is on the dainty side, but it you are looking for big and bold, buy a different watch. The quality is great, and it goes well with both jeans and office attire. I'm a big fan of Citizen EcoDrive watches, and will recommend them for their quality and dependability. I have one which is 8 years old, and it still works perfectly - and of course, they never need a battery. In fact, I had put the old watch away when we were moving, and forgot about it for a long time. When I took it out of the box, it started right up again when exposed to ambient light, and it's still keeping perfect time. I expect this new watch to have this same dependability, and I hope to wear it for many years to come.
