After reading the reviews, I decided to take a chance.  Yes, the watch is large, heavy and the band is too long.  But, it's definitely an excellent buy for a good quality watch.  If you have a normal size wrist, you will have to remove several of the links.  I ordered a watch tool kit for $6.99 and did the adjustments at home.  I'm wearing the watch now and barely notice the weight.  In fact, it feels comfortable.  The mother of pearl face is pretty.  This is not a watch for a petite woman or someone will a narrow wrist.
