This is a hefty watch! The links feel like they are solid stainless steel so it's rather heavy.  It's also very large, so I had to remove three links and adjust the clasp down to the smallest setting for it to fit and I consider myself to be medium to large boned.  It's very pretty and I've received many compliments already.  Seems to keep time perfectly.  The diamonds are tiny, but they do add a bit of sparkle.  When you get it, make sure you don't start tearing the plastic off like I did.  There are arrows on the inside of the band, showing you how to unwrap it gently.  I didn't see this until I had starting tearing off bits of the protective wrap and ended up shredding it in the band.  I ended up having to pick bits of plastic wrap out of the band.
