I love this watch! I have a pool and spend a lot of time in it. I wanted a watch that I could wear outside in the water and not worry about it. It's thicker than I thought it would be, rather industrial looking. But, the face is a pretty color, greener than shown in the photo. Despite its thickness, it is not heavy. I have tiny wrists, and this is an issue for me. The date and time are easy to set. You set the date separately from the time, so you don't have to keep winding the watch to get to the correct date. Overall, this is a fantastic watch as long as you realize that it is not dainty and sleek. It is very substantial looking with a striking-colored face.
