Classy look and very durable. Very nice watch for the price. I bought mine at a discount store and paid about $6 more for it. I like it, despite its 10mm thickness. Not that heavy if you're like me, 6'2" and 250lbs. It's a man's watch, practical yet with some style while not being trendy. I haven't had any problems with it so far, despite having dropped it twice and worn it outside while working and getting it soaked with sweat multiple times. I don't find it uncomfortable at all and I forget I am wearing it. (I suggest taking it off, the leather band doesn't clean easily like a metal band.) I'm considering buying a second one and keeping it cleaner this time. (Lesson learned.)

I love this watch and wear it more than any other watch that I own. The weight is nice, the styling is fantastic, the face is easily readable at a glance, the Indiglo and water resist are great features.
There are just a few minor things that keep it from being perfect.
The leather band is thick and very stiff. I have been wearing mine nearly every day for over a year now, and the band is only relaxed in the spot where the buckle sits. There were originally two loops to hold the loose end of the strap, and the sliding one fell off after about a month of use. I don't miss it and am not sure why it was there in the first place. The restraining loop that is fixed in place is still there and seems solid.
It is a leather band. It has darkened a bit from contact with my skin and is showing typical leather creases/cracks where it bends through the buckle. I don't expect it to last forever, and it will slowly change character with use. If I wanted it to stay...Read more

As other reviewers have stated - this watch is large and it's heavy. I think it would look best on a larger person with big wrists or arms. The night light is cool and effective.
