This is my first automatic watch, and so far I am in love. I ordered this watch from the seller called Long Island Watch as I had heard nothing but good things about the vendor on some online watch forums. This seller only sells new merchandise, so there is no chance of receiving a refurbished or a watch which had been returned by previous owners. I ordered it Sunday night and I received it Wednesday morning. I highly recommend this seller. I have had this watch for about a week now and I personally haven't noticed a gain or loss in time. I have small wrists for a guy, or about average for a woman, a little under 6.5 inches around, but the watch looks nice on my wrist. The case doesn't look too big or anything. I brought it to a local watch repairman and had them remove some links for me. If you try to adjust the bracelet yourself be aware that there are tiny sleeves that go over the pins inside the links, and if you lose those you are out of luck for putting it back together. As a watch novice I suggest going to your local jeweler and paying the nominal fee to have it adjusted. I've had nothing but compliments on it since I've started wearing it, and even my Mom is jealous and wants one. It is very easy to set the date/time and it is also easy to read the numbers.
