My father has issues with battery operated products.  He has some kind of issue, as some others do to, with wearing anything that has batteries in it.  Watches, walkmans, etc. all seem to drain way to fast for them.  My father has over 10 watches, that for his birthday, we replace all his batteries with Lithium batteries, yet within a few months they are all dead!  We even had several watches replaced, to no difference in battery performance.  And yes, we tried different batteries, including non lithium.

The watch is a bit heavy, yet does not seam to be poorly made.  The face and beval are a bit thick too. The leather straps are nice and sticff as new leather (or leatherlike?) material is.  The swing arm to "wind" the clock appears to move freely and with just a bit of movement (winding) the watch was working.

I will see if I can post an update, to see how this watch stands the test of time.  I believe my father will wear it, as my mom told me he was showing it off like crazy to the rest of the family.
