I love the look and feel of this watch.  It is light weight and simple but still has a touch of elegance.  The mesh band is smooth, always a concern with mesh. This one will definitely not catch the sweaters.  The color is a dark brown, almost black and the band easily adjusted to my wrist size, which is narrow. The date is rather small but was not one of my major concerns. I also like the added second hand; I missed this feature on my previous watch.
