I wanted an automatic watch for occasional wear, mainly so I could throw it in a drawer for long periods of time and not worry about the battery dying.  Now that I have worn it for a week, I can comment how pleased I am with it.  Nice styling, is well made, and accurate.  It has gained less than a minute in a week, and has not stopped running (I took it off two nights just to see if it would still be ticking in the morning).  Overall, very pleased with my purchase
