For someone who has never worn a watch, to have one that looks like a nice piece of jewelry is a plus. The smooth band does not catch any fine hairs. The face is easy to read and the crystals sparkle without being too much bling. Elegant and understated with the Scandinavian simplicity. Once I stopped to read the directions on changing the band length, all was well. Directions are written in understandable language. I had not shortened the band length properly at first, and it caused the clasp to slide off. Very easily corrected by doing it right! Fairly easy to put on with the one free hand. Have had nice compliments.
