Let me start out by saying I own lots off watches. From less expensive to very nice high dollar ones. I collect them, I like watches. My wife purchased this watch for me as Christmas present and gave it to me early.
I took 4 links out of the band, wound it 6 times to get it stared and have had it on since then. I haven't taken it of at all. I love this watch.
It keeps perfect time and with the initial 6 turns of the dial post I haven't looked back.
This watch will work for any occasion as well, from camping and work to a Black Tie event.
Buy it, you will not be disappointed.
