My Carriage Women's C3C391 watch arrived promptly and was as described. I'll wear it for casual outings but will buy something else for work. Why?

The face is nicely done. It has some character without being too modern and though the face is big, it still looks feminine. My problem is that the watch band is a very cheap synthetic leather. From far away you cannot tell, but I compared it to an actual leather band that I have on a different watch and I could definitely tell the difference. In addition, the band on this Carriage watch is a bit stiffer and thus more uncomfortable when wearing than other bands I've had.

I'm thinking of buying a nicer band for this watch, but that would require spending more money and my purpose was to get a nice watch at a very reasonable price. Oh well.

At under $25 this watch is ok, but it's definitely not great.
