I ordered this watch because I have always wanted a pinkface eco-drive.  I did read previous reviews, so I was prepared to take it to a jeweler to adjust the band.  And, as everyone else said, it was not an easy adjustment and I did end up taking it to a jeweler.  None the less, it was easy for them and it fits great. It is a smaller, more petite watch than many you see in the store show cases, but I like it as it fits well on a smaller wrist.  It keeps perfect time after proper charging (not a big deal, just read the directions).  I am enjoying wearing this watch. And it does not have a gold band around the face, so no worries there!  Buy it and enjoy if you want a smaller, plain watch.
