The Classic Field White Dial watch is a terrific watch. It's got a nice heft, but not excessive, and the numbers are enormous and (as I found out when the power went out) glow in the dark. Plus it's a very attractive watch -- it looks twice the price. Simplicity is an underrated asset, I have a beautiful Tag that is so over-complicated I can barely read it in bright light.

But it does have one flaw: the leather band. It's really stiff, has wrist-adjustment holes that are a little too far apart, and squeaks when I adjust it, a sign of cheap leather. I'll probably end up replacing it.

Some part of me wants to say, what do you expect, it was a $75 watch? But, come on. It's a great watch. It deserves a great band.
