This was a birthday present for our 15 year old grandson. He had asked for a watch that he could wear when he was "dressed up". He's a vegetarian, so leather bands are out. This watch looks very grown up and elegant, but is inexpensive enough to give to a teenager who may not take appropriate care of a more expensive timepiece "fine" watch, and we don't know yet how well it will wear. But for our purposes, it did the trick.
