I purchased this watch for a casual watch and an Amitron for a dress watch.  I loved the Amitron so much, I've decided to send this watch back.  Someone in a previous review had mentioned that the black is not really black.  I questioned what they were talking about, but once you get the watch you see what they're talking about.  The black is more like a metallic grey.  The band is also thicker than it appears.  The watch face is pretty, but the rest of the watch is just okay.  The band is very large.  I tried to remove some links and they wouldn't budge (another reason I decided to send it back).  I thought, when the Amitron watch comes in, I'll take them both to the jewelers and have them remove a link or two on both watches.  When I received the Amitron watch, it had two fasteners and I could very easily remove one to make the watch smaller to fit my wrist.  Because of this easy feature, I didn't need to go to the jewelry store to size that watch, so I decided to send the XOXO watch back and save myself a trip to the jewelry store.
