I am a woman, but I prefer men's watches...I love the face and body (looks a ton more expensive than it is), but the strap definitely gives away the price: stiff, too red, and looks plastic-y. I have ordered a brown alligator strap by Hadley Roma, which I think will be a really great look (plain brown or black would work, too), and will probably outlive the watch! At this great price, no problem - I'll just keep switching them out :)
