When I paid less than twenty for this watch I was not expecting high quality.  I bought the watch for its somewhat unique bracelet-like appearance.  It performs that job moderately well.  It DOES look good on the wrist but those looks come at a price.  I suppose most fashion does, no?

the pros:
- Looks Good

- after less than a week of wearing it, it is still keeping time

the cons:
- the "leather" if quite thin and may not hold up to a lot of wear. Now don't get on me for saying this...  I can update in six months if it is still going strong -- I'm just saying that its thin and SIGNIFICANTLY thinner than any other watchband I've ever seen.  That actually might be by design since it has to wrap around your wrist 3 or 4 times.  A thicker leather may well have been bulky and unattractive.

- after 3 days of wear my wrist had already been well stained a bronze color that normal washing didn't get rid of.  Even the rivets left their stain

Bottom line:
I like this watch for what it is and I am continuing to wear it.  I would LOVE a quality watch that looks like this.  I applaud the designer for making such an appealing looking timepiece.  Enjoy this watch for what its meant to be -- a little fun on an otherwise drab wrist.  But don't expect high quality and make sure you have some good stain remover for your wrist.
