Its a pretty good looking watch. Definitely a good value. I read some other reviews that complained about how loud it is. You can definitely hear the ticking if you really concentrate on it in a quiet room, or hold it up to your ear, but I do not find it any louder than other analog watches I've had in the past. The only issue at all I have about at the watch is the band is a little bit glossier than I was expecting, but its a sharp looking watch.
