I bought this watch via the 2012 Black Friday sale. From the mixed Reviews my ultimatum was that its was gonna be cheap, broken or discolored at best however upon arrival and taking it out for a spin I was delighted to see its design as well as performance.the standard of the watch is astounding and i would recommend it for a gift or personal use. For 30 bucks it well worth it weight in gold...btw it light and manageable and hugs your hand and is very comfortable. Consequently this is why i would say A- is the best grade for this watch after all not everything is perfect> :)
