Just got mine today (a bit over $90 delivered from Amazon) and am very pleased with it so far! Like the previous review says it is very attractive, solid, and thick! I was looking for a durable, inexpensive watch for daily wear which would be easy for me to read while counting time taking pulses and such (I'm a new nurse) and this appears to fit the bill.

The dial on this watch was what initially caught my attention; I like the silver dial with the white boarder and the military time markers on the white. However, it was the center of the dial that really impressed me, it is silver on silver and the smaller disk in the center has an almost leather stamp type pattern which really sets the dial off. I was concerned when the watch got here today about the second hand, it seemed to stop and skip between the hour of 1 and 4 on the watch dial. What seemed to be happening was that it would run smoothly and sweep very nicely until it reached 1 and then pause and skip all the way to 4 before continuing on. I at first thought I had a defective...Read more
