I have had this watch for almost 5 years now. It is my primary watch and is worn allot. My band just broke and I was on Amazon looking for a replacement when I came across these reviews. When I saw some low reviews I had to read them to find out why. All due to the band. Obviously the band is the weak point, but it also adds to the appearance and feel of the watch. I wouldn't want just any replacement off the shelf band because the factory one looks and feels great. It does look like I will spend close to $40 for a replacement. But if it last another 4+ years I'll be happy. I have never owned a watch before that I wore for more than 4 years. I still love this one as much as the first day I put it on.
This watch is light and masculine. Perfect for all occasions.
