This watch was purchased to replace the same model that I lost after wearing for years. I love the looks of it, as well as the functionality. It's extremely light and because it never needs a battery, the watertight integrity is maintained. The crystal simply cannot be scratched, that's a big deal for me, and the black finish looks great. Even after years of use, when the finish began to wear around the edges of the band, it looked even better to me. It was much like a much used firearm. It's the only watch I'll wear, regardless of the occasion. I love it! That's why after losing the first one, I had to buy another.
