Debated by all the reviews about it being hard to open and close. I decided to purchase it anyway. Had problem with opening especially once on wrist, got help from husband. Think I finally figured it out. The best part is there is no safety chain or latch to catch on anything ( buttons, snaps, clips). Happy with it so far, hope that the gold stays for a long time. Nice weight and size, I like the fact that it is OVAL which is hard to find, maybe get another in the future.
