I initially was concerned by the reviews of this watch (the large wristband), but decided to buy it anyway. I do have a larger wrist and like a looser-fitting watch, so it didn't really concern me as much. BUT, I did have to have 5 links removed (I believe the jeweler said he could remove 3 more links) and it's still loose-fitting on me, which is okay. This is really something to consider when buying this watch, especially if you have a small wrist. Other than that, I love how slim the watch is and really like the weight of it. It not only has the safety clasp, but an additional locking mechanism to assure it doesn't release if caught on something. I love that I can actually read the time and that there's a second-hand feature, too. I have dress watches but wanted something more substantial for everyday wear, so this watch fit the bill for me...I wear it everywhere. I only gave it four stars because of the additional cost ($12 for me) to have the links removed.
