I got this watch for my significant other and he absolutely loved it!  The face is not overly large but large enough to see the gears within.  The band is of good quality and the parts are too.  Overall, he has had it for 2 years now and it still looks great and work like a charm!  If you want to give someone something out there, this is a great idea.  Plus, Stuhrling is a very good company who make only the highest quality products.
