First of all, you don't usually get much of a watch at a price as good as this. It has the look and the character of a more expensive piece. The slide bezel is functional and the watch keeps an accurate time and day / date. For me, the weight (ultra light) is a big need because I don't like the feel of a heavy watch. Also, the numerals and the hands glow in the dark. I'm thinking of buying a second one and putting it away for future use.
