This watch is great fun, especially if you tell your friends you have had it since 1979!  It seems to be of good quality. It shows time, (12-hr. or 24 hr.) date, and can be set to reflect the current year. It is a little thick and bulky, but this adds to the retro appeal. The band is roomy, so you may need to take out a link or two. The clasp works well, although it is a little gimmicky. I get real pleasure out of this watch. My only reservation is that it is unbranded, meaning that it is doubtless an inexpensive Chinese watch. I do hope it has the quality it seems to have, because I certainly enjoy wearing and showing it.
