The watch keeps really good time. The attention to detail in the engraving and delicate hands and movement is wonderful, however its what you'd expect in a watch made in the 21st century with plastic bezel and thin metal casing. Its what you would call a $5.00 pocket watch in the early part of the 20th century but without the heavy duty craftsmanship of the era. Its a nice watch for the money but delicate. Work environment - NO; Office environment or vest pocket OK.
