This is a very attractive watch which is easy to use.

The color of the band is "interesting".  "Dark Silver" is perhaps accurate but you might expect something closer to a dark chrome (most watches are a very light chrome).  This band is darker than you might expect and even looks almost a little "bronze".  It is not the color of platinum (which you might expect for a "dark silver" metal).

The functionality is excellent, the display can be read both at night and in bright daylight.  Of course this comes at the price of having to push a button to check time (push twice to check date).  But when not displaying the time, instead of some ugly complex watch face you have a beautiful red crystal.

The second button is only used for setting the watch. (you might think that one button was for time and the other for date but no, that isn't how it works)  There is also a tiny, recessed "reset button" but no information on when or if you'll ever need to use it.

Removing a link is done like virtually any other metal watch band.  I don't know why they don't provide a tool to do this though.  Removing four links resulted in a perfect fit (better than my Seiko).  The clasp is both very secure and easy to use.

The style is both retro (1970s when items like these first came out) and futuristic because it looks more high tech than most current watches.
