These days big watches are a fashion statement; gone are the days they were considered too masculine. Personally I find a large face easier on my aging eyes. And the face of this watch exactly suits my tastes - I love the Roman numerals and the traditional, classy face and what might be considered old-fashioned presentation with hands instead of the digital style. And I like the eye-catching bling of the diamond accents around the bezel.

My very favorite feature is the two-tone metal styling. Most of my jewelry mixes gold and silver (not plate because my favorite hometown jeweler makes it from the real deal) so this fine-looking watch fits right in.

And it is water resistant which to me is critical as I am outdoorsy and never know when I'll be walking in a rainstorm.
