I bought this watch for my wife recently. She likes it so much that she hasn't been taking it off at night. This Aquaracer is solidly constructed with a robust bracelet and has what might be considered a mid-size case (32mm) for women. My wife is 5'10" and we found that smaller watches lacked wrist presence. The mother of pearl face and the diamond hour markers add flair without being outr. The stainless steel case has a high polish finish and the crown is a screw down type. The water resistance rating is a very substantial 300m so no worries about a dip in the pool or the sea. Accuracy is beyond reproach with a few seconds lost in a couple of weeks. Heartily recommended for ladies looking to mark a personal triumph or perhaps anniversary gift shoppers.
