If you are looking for a brown dress watch, this is it.  I don't like it with the brown straps that it came with (too much brown) but the black straps and brown time piece are very classy.  I wore it to work after getting it to make sure it kept time right (being an automated watch) and my coworkers immediately noticed it and thought it was very classy.  It also kept the time.  It does have a little bit more noise to my automatic watch, when you initially shake your watch after putting it on to get the kinetic going you can the motion part clanking.  It is not broken, it just moves a little heavy.  However normal walking and moving about I don't think anybody would notice the noise.  I have another automatic watch and its substantially more expensive and even that I hear a little.  I wanted a nice watch that would go with my green and tan suits and this was perfect.  The only negative thing I would say about this is that if you have fuzzy eye sight, I could see how the dials might blend into the skeleton background a little.  This is an observation about all skeletal watches (not just this one).  Otherwise you are good to go.
