I've had this watch for a few weeks now and I LOVE it!  It's large and in charge, especially for under $40.  This is the size of a guys watch and could easily be given to a guy as a gift.....there's no way they would know it is marketed as a 'womens' watch.  I like big watches but if you don't, then don't get this one.  The glass face is the size of a 50 cent piece with the silver ring on the outside of that.  It's also more than a quarter inch thick.  It is fairly heavy and bulky and looks great with casual dress like jeans and t-shirt.  The rubber strap is very comfortable with 8 sizing holes.  I have a really small wrist, but I still had no problem finding a good fit.  Yes, you have to wind the watch.....typically I have had to wind about once per day.  I expected this with a mechanical watch, so no big deal to me.  I also like the fact that there is a second hand that many watches no longer have and if wound, keeps accurate time.  It is very cool to see the mechanics working in the watch while not having to worry about battery life.  I sure hope it works for the long haul.  Time will tell....
