Update, Nov 9, 2014. Two years later and I still really like this watch. It still looks great and I still occasionally get comments and compliments on it.

I am kind of rough on watches, but this has taken the abuse. There are times that I will wear it continuously (24 hrs a day) for three or four days at a time. Exercise, heat, cold, etc., and it still looks great. It still runs a little fast, but I haven't done anything about it because I don't want anybody screwing it up. I just reset it about every three or four days. I will sometimes forget to wear it for a couple of days and it seems to take about 48 hours to completely run down.

BTW: This is actually my second one of these. The first fogged up as soon as I put it on my wrist. I sent it back and got another one, which is the one I still have that is still not foggy. I even wear this in the hot tub several times a week and it is not foggy. So, if you get a foggy one, send it back and get a replacement.

The original review: I really like this watch. Here are some things you might want to know if you are considering it.

First: It is really good looking. This watch looks great with a jeans and a t-shirt or with a three piece suit. The two customer images are the best representation. For some reason, the others have the crystal looking grey, which it is not: It is clear.

The attention to detail is nice: The gunmetal on the two outside bands of the watchband matches the outside body of the watch, while the shinier middle band matches the bezel. There is a definite contrast between the two metals, but they go together very well. From some of the pictures, I was concerned that the name brand would be prominent--actually you have to look closely to see it.

It is cool to be able to see the inside of the watch in action. Most of the parts are stainless steel, but a couple are copper colored for contrast. Some of the jewels that can be seen from the back are blue-green. From the back, you can watch the part that winds the watch (yeah, probably called the winder).

The hands are clearly different lengths so it is easy to tell the time (especially for those of us who have used only digital for a long time). The hands are luminescent, but they aren't really very bright in the dark and seem to fade soon.

The description says it has a Japanese movement, but the labels on the watch say it was made in China. I assume that like everything else these days, the parts actually come from all over the world. In any case, it keeps time very accurately. The winding mechanism lasts at least a couple of days, so if you wear it regularly, you won't have to worry about resetting it.

The band is really long--I have fairly large wrists (not huge), so I had two links removed at a local jeweler (for $7.00). While I was there, I looked at their watches and there was nothing this cool looking. The watch is just the right size for my wrist and sits flat on it. The band is comfortable and secure.

This is just a time piece: It does not keep track of the day, date, appointments, golf scores, etc. However, that makes it a lot easier to set if you need to.

It does keep the time beautifully, though.
