This is one of the best watches I have owned; the construction is rock-solid, the screw-down crown is secure and flush with the lobes surrounding it. No protrusions to catch or snag. Band is strong, durable and well adjustable. The lume is adequate, and the bezel action positive. It IS a bit large, not so large as to look ridiculous like some of those which resemble a small alarm clock strapped to one's wrist but larger than your average dress or sports type watch. Very good value for the money.
