***** Update: 1/16/13 - The watch battery has run down after only three months of use. Replacements seem hard to find, and it should not have run down so fast in any case. I could tell the battery was bad because the second hand started running half as fast, which is the standard signal for a low battery. I took off a star for this. Also, the product support folks are hard to reach. *****

Overall, a high quality, good looking watch. The look is a bit unique, but still adult enough for me to wear to my executive level day job. The face is of high quality crystal that does not scratch easily and the construction is heavy enough to withstand my carelessness, with one small exception. The finish on the leather band is not deep enough to allow casual buckling in which you scrape the leather against the buckle to tighten the band around your wrist. This is especially true when the band is not broken in. This causes some visible scratching off of the dark coloring, exposing the tan leather color underneath. A second band of another color is supplied with the watch, and I have not tried it yet to see if it will do the same thing. I've had a lot of watches, and this band shows wear faster than expected. Surprising considering the quality of the watch itself, the box it came in, etc. For this, I remove one star.

All else is great. Nice that they supply a second band. The box is presentation grade and is a 'keeper'. A premium product other than the band wear.
