Compared to the photo, the watch is a little nicer looking ... the band is slightly darker, but is classic looking. The first band I didn't have to punch my own hole in, great for very small wrists. It is not the thinnest case in the history of watches, but is not overtly thick. Solar watches tend to be a bit thicker (this is my second -- the first is a Pulsar solar) anyway to accommodate the storage cell. The watch is a bit lighter than I expected though, which gave an initial impression of lower quality (for some reason we think of quality goods as being heavy).

The product description errs in the level of water resistance however. The description lists 100 ft water resistance and this is incorrect. The manual says that the watch is merely water resistant, meaning resists occasional splashes and drips. Not to be worn swimming, bathing, etc.

It's a classy looking watch, it's solar, and I'm quite happy with the purchase. I would have preferred a higher level of water resistance, but it's not a hardship to remove the watch to shower.
