This is a great watch for every day. The face is big so it falls into the trendy category but simple enough not to be over the top. I have a pink bracelet - it's a little pearly, but the shade of pink is light enough that it's fairly neutral for a fashion choice. Haven't had it long enough to know how long the gilding will last, but so far so good. My only complaint is that it's quite noisy. I hear it ticking all the time. It's not actually a deal breaker, but I just wanted to mention it.
