Beautiful, classic, functional, simple, timeless design with no unnecessary frills, bells or whistles. This watch does exactly what it's supposed to - it tells time exceedingly well. It has an easy to read face and hands, unfortunately they are not particularly luminous in the dark. I can't say anything about the watch crystal, no complaints at this time. I hated that band, it came off within 5 minutes of getting the watch and was replaced with an old, well-worn khaki 3-ring NATO strap; now the watch looks perfect to me. All in all I think this is a well-built, functional, good looking watch that is perfectly sized for my not particularly large wrist, it's very comfortable to wear. I experienced the usual excellent service from Amazon and because I think the watch is a terrific value for the money in spite of that horrible band, I give it 5 stars.
