I've only had this watch for a few weeks so it's probably too early to give an objective review of this watch. But I really like it and it is exactly like the picture. This is a beautiful watch and I love wearing it. My only complaint is that the "luminous dial" isn't very bright, so I can't read the time as advertised in the dark. Also, this is the first watch I have with a "date" function, so I can't compare the function of this watch to others, but it's almost impossible for me to read the tiny date.
