I've owned many different watches from many different brands in my lifetime- Burberry, Bulova, Casio, Timex, Eclisse & several more. I've paid up to $400 for a watch, but found that didn't guarantee me getting either accurate timekeeping nor proper fit. I'm a woman with a 7" wrist (approx. 1/2 to 1" larger than an "average-sized" woman with thinner wrists), so I've often been stuck choosing leather- or rubber-strapped watches due to their more flexible sizing ability. I desperately wanted a new watch with a metal band that I wouldn't have to go get sized, though, so I decided to look at mens watches instead of ladies. I'm glad that I did.

I wanted either a rectangular or square face, something that would go with either white gold or sterling silver jewelry & most of my outfits. I didn't have a lot of money to spend but needed a watch from a reliable brand. This fits the bill very well. I'd say it'd fit up to a 7 & a 1/2" wrist nicely- anymore than that, and you'd probably have to add links. I can fit one finger completely through the back of my wrist when this watch is on, to give you an idea of how it fits someone of my size. It's not tight up against my wrist, but I didn't want it to be- I wanted it to look just slightly "bracelet-style" without being so loose it'd fall off my hand, and that's exactly how this fits me. It's comfortable even while being worn as a full-time student & worker who uses the computer at least six hours a day, every day.

The watch came with protective sheets of easily-removed clear plastic, both on the face & the band. The band isn't adjustable as is, but it's very easy to remove or put on (no ruining your nails over this one, if that's a concern). I'm glad it came in protective sheeting, because the inner plastic ring that the watch is wrapped around in it's packaging had broken in two, leaving very jagged edges of loose plastic floating in the package along with the watch. The box it came in was not padded & it showed in the broken packaging. I'm glad I wasn't giving this as a gift, because the presentation was ruined. However, since it caused no damage to the watch, I'm not going to complain too much. The links & face came to me looking flawless & unscratched, after all.

This watch is on the beefier side. A petite woman or small man might feel too overwhelmed by it. As I'm a big & tall woman who wears full makeup, plenty of jewelry, dressier clothes & a nice handbag when I go out, I don't mind that. It's sleek looks will work well for either a gentleman or a full-figured lady who wants a watch that'll transition from day to evening activities nicely. There's no date on this watch, so remember to keep that in mind if that feature is very important to you.
