This is an amazing and very unique watch. Accuracy is excellent. No matter how water resistant the watch is, it says "Don't intentionally get wet". The strap is made of high quality leather. It feels soft. However, every 4 weeks of use you will need to clean the strap and refresh it with leather conditioners. If you ever need to remove dirt from your watch, use a lens cleaning cloth and then wipe with a soft, clean sock/towel or other soft, lint-free material. This watch will last for decades if you take good care of it. I love it. :)
