I just received this Vestal promptly for what I regard as a nice price ($70). I'm not exactly a watch collector but I bought this to compare to my Invicta Reserve Venom Subaqua, which is a very, very large heavy watch. No problems with that, but it turns out that this black canteen Vestal is a comparably well-done piece. The white hands against the matte black more or less minimalist black-on-black design make the watch just perfect for knowing what timne it is and nothing else. I'm the sort of idiot who would also like to have the date and day, but I see no workable way that Vestal could have kept this straightahead watch to the point, so to speak, while adding those dials. I'm wearing this Vestal now and it strikes me as a really sweet intersection of form and function. I wear a lot of black, and this watch fits the scene perfectly. Noticeably lighter and less "busy" than the Subaqua of course, but still feels solid and well-made. Keeps good time; looks like it has a perfectly fine Japanese movement, perhaps the sort that Citizen often uses. In essence, and that's really the key to this review, this watch is just...cool. Not flashy, not overstated, yet eye-catching in a plausible sort of way. I'd recommend people really take a look at this watch at this price and additionally that they explore the Vestal minimalist watches across the board. Great purchase.
