Great, heavy, classy watch. I'm not usually a fan of gold watches, but this one really popped. The alarm is not very loud, but thats par for the course on watch alarms IMO. Its big. And most people won't ever care to learn how to use the chronograph feature, its complicated like it is on any watch and is basically a type of slide rule. So don't get this thinking youll be able to compute time distance fuel consumption rate, etc, within 5 minutes of getting this watch, if youve never done it before. Its solar powered also which is one of my favorite types of movements/power sources.
