It's SOOO stiff!  I was torn between keeping it and trying to "break it in" or returning it before creases/cracks showed up in the band.  It is so stiff in its formed shape that it makes the watch face shift uncomfortably on my wrist and is always off center on my arm when I go to check the time.  I could have replaced the band but I just thought it should be wearable right out of the box.  I loved the watch itself and the blue glow is really cool but the band was the deal-breaker for me and I had to return it.  The watch face/mechanism deserves a 5 but the band is a 2 at best.
