The center of the dial is a carbon fiber material which has a nice 3-D look to it. Watch looks much more expensive than it really is. Titanium makes it lighter than a stainless steel watch too. Can't say much about durability of the mechanism or how well it keeps time, but so far it has impressed me and others.

On edit: I agree with another reviewer that the band is a bit small. It fits me but if you have large wrists (more than 8-8 1/2 inches round) I would look elsewhere. Also agree that the bezel could be finished a bit better. But still, for the deal I got here on it, this can't be beat. Far nicer than the other under-$100 watches I have bought. Durable so far, and keeps excellent time, also!
