I like the look of this watch. It's so beautiful and very easy to read. I think I like this watch more than any watch I've had before, including some very expensive ones. I wasn't sure what a black face with silver numbers and hands would look like, but I was really surprised at how great the contrast was. Also, you can easily see the second hand. We removed 4 links from the strap as I have a small wrist and watches always fit larger wrists.
