While the construction and aesthetics are pretty good, I haven't seen any finished stitching sticking out from under the strap near the buckle. My wife came home with an irritated wrist on the first day. My solution was to heat a cheap knife with a flame and apply the hot knife to the "spiky bit" in one gentle motion for a short time to smooth it out. After that she said it got better. A simple fix for an otherwise good group. By the way, I measured the watch, ordered the right size and it fit perfectly.
