I was looking for a watch with an easy-to-read face. Since I have a small wrist I have always purchased small faced watches in the past, typically ones without individual minute markers. This watch is a fantastic value and it looks great too - I've gotten lots of compliments! Even with a small wrist, it doesn't look overwhelmingly huge. The adjustment with the provided tool was very simple - as you can see in the pictures the band almost completely overlaps but it is still very comfortable. It actually snags on my arm hairs even less than an expandable band does. For the price, it's an attractive, comfortable, and functional watch.
