I have had this watch for a month now and I am very pleased with it.
I replaced the plastic band immediately with my own black leather
20mm band with a chrome buckle, since the plastic band buckled on
the last hole on my large wrist. To take the plastic band off I had
to carefully slice the band off by the pins with a razor blade,
in order to get to reach the pins.

This is a large heavy watch.  I wear it on my right hand so the knobs
don't dig into the back of my hand. With a good leather band this watch
looks great. The bezel, crystal, face and case are all top notch.
The backlight is activated for 3 seconds when you press the top knob
and is very bright.  It's very easy to read the hands on this watch
day or night.

An amazing thing about this watch is the accuracy.  When you unscrew
and pull out the knob to set the time, the second hand stops, so you
can synchronize the watch to a clock exactly to the second.
I set it to my cable box clock and it has only gained 3 seconds in a month.
I checked it every day, and it took ten days to gain a single second.

I would have still been happy with this watch at twice the price.
