I received the watch within a week of getting the teaser email and subsequent order of the white faced minimalist Modesto watch. The watch arrived in suitably well designed embossed packaging. My first impression on opening the box was that of satisfaction, so often gorgeous photography can oversell a watch, but not on this occasion. More impressive was the quality of the branded quick release leather strap, nice soft leather with Sternglas etched on the metal clasp. The watch itself doesn't shout quality with its plastic body, but does reflect its price range. This is an uncomplicated watch with a strong emphasis on aesthetics, hopefully time will reveal it to be good value.
