If you are a woman who enjoys wearing man-sized watches then this is one that has elegance and yet is water resistant to 50 meters. There are tiny cut diamonds inset into the gold-plated rim which encircles the watch crystal--all in all, a stunning effect. The only drawback is this: a watch like this is often worn large and loose-fitting on a woman's wrist as a fashion accessory. However if one were to take it 50 meters underwater, one would definitely want to get it re-sized to fit more securely. To my knowledge this can only be done by a jeweler. So I would skip the water resistant feature and just go for fashion. Then get a second, securely fitted sports watch without the gold-plating and diamonds for use in the water.
