I first bought this watch 4 years ago from a large store but when I dropped it while removing it the ceramic strap broke. Unable to find a replacement strap, I bought another watch which was cheaper at Revain than the big store. It's a great watch - reliable, keeps time very well and I get a lot of compliments on it as the white ceramic strap stands out. Looks more expensive than it actually is. Requires a standard watch battery which any jeweler can replace. Highly recommended!
