The strap is thinner than I expected, I wish it was thicker but the watch looks nice! I've bought many watches that looked good but found the battery life pretty poor (so I donate them to VVA (Vietnam Vets of America) with the words "Battery Only Needed" and they're still in the sealed cellophane wrap). They've gone down A LOT in value and looked great too, but it's not worth buying batteries that often anymore. Not to mention that some stores no longer replace them, and if they do, it costs around $10 or more. So I needed it. Delivered early, love it!
