I got this watch as a gift (even though I picked it out). I was so tired of the watch battery roller coaster and just wanted a watch like in the days before batteries. This was perfect. The women's self wind watches never became affordable so I opted for a man's version. For 80 bucks this is an awesome watch. I like the bigger face watch style so this was perfect for me. Even though it is large it looks classy and elegant. The watch came beautifully packaged in a classy box while still containing protection to keep watch safe. I am trusting the quality reputation of the Stuhrling Company so time will tell on that front.
