This is my first Swiss watch and my favorite watch to wear (so far). As some of the other reviewers have already mentioned, its looks better in person than in the pictures. It keeps good time, although I haven't done any scientific studies on it. I do check against the official nist time periodically and this watch can keep up. I wear it dressed up or dressed down, and the watch looks good either way.

There are a few minor issues that I would like to point out.
  1. The leather strap that comes with the watch seems to be 'dry'. What I mean by that is areas where the leather is stretched or bent (like around the buckle) it fades a little. Some might say that it adds to the vintage look. You may wish to treat the strap with a leather conditioner to keep it looking new.
  2. Turning the crown clock-wise will wind the watch. However, I occasionally notice some rough grinding noise while manually winding the watch. I also compared it with a Tissot running the same movement, and the Tissot winds smoother and quieter.
  3. The lume on the minute hand was not applied evenly, atleast on the one that I got. Though you would have to look real close to catch it.

Despite these issues, I am satisfied with the purchase and I highly recommend Hamilton, especially if you are looking for an entry level Swiss watch.
