“I really like this Xeric model because it is an automatic, has a skeletonized back and a unique way of showing the minutes past the hour. I've been happy with this Xeric as well as the others that I've purchased. I recently found Xeric watches and I enjoy wearing them since they can be worn in almost any environment. I believe it has a rating of 5ATM and it is a good value since Xeric watches often go on sale. I find this Xeric model easier to tell the time but the other models are even more unique than this model and I just need to review the instructions for setting and telling the time of the other models that I've purchased including a domed crystal. This model does not come with a domed crystal but I still would recommend it for it's ability to be worn in any situation. It's a nice change of pace to where than the heavier diver watches that I wear. The case diameter is just right and the leather band avoids any issues adjusting a bracelet band although I wear both. I have had no problems with any of my Xerics where some of my other new watches have had crowns fall out or make it difficult to change the size of the bracelet band. You won't have any need for instructions setting this watch and the globe faced background adds to it's uniqueness while not affecting your ability to tell the time. Great watch to add to your collection.”
