I paid more for shipping than for the watch which was on sale.  What is nice is that the hands and numbers are gold tone BUT the button on the side to move the hands is silver color!  The strap was cheap, cheap plastic - HORRIBLE but I do like the watch face and for every day work it is what I was looking for.  So, I bought a leather strap for it in Walmart - that also cost more than I paid for the watch.  So, overall was it worth it?  If the watch lasts for 12 months, then probably.
