I've now had the watch about three weeks and it has lost about 1/2 of a second in that time, which is well within the 15 seconds per month mentioned in the warranty.

The ion plated finish is beautiful. It is dressier than watches I usually wear.  I will be removing it before working on the car or digging in the yard.

The self charging feature works well.  Movement during shipping had charged the watch up to a one month reserve, as indicated by the power reserve indicator.  It was charged to the full 4 to 6 month reserve after about two days on my wrist.

My only disappointment is the performance of the LumiBrite glow-in-the-dark hands and markers.  They shine brightly immediately after exposure to bright light but grow very dim after several hours in the dark.  If readability in the dark is a priority for you, a watch with tritium hands and markers is a much better choice.
