I was keen to find a watch with that classic, classy appeal, which had the day-date function. After doing some (okay, a lot) of research, I was about to buy a Tissot, when I discovered this gem. The pictures on the website don't do it any kind of justice! It is beautifully finished, with the day and date windows each having upward and downward slanting frames, which catch the light and add extra eye appeal. The crystal is domed, which gives it a beautiful distortion when seen at an angle, something I wasn't expecting - an added delight. The leather strap it comes on is beautiful as well, in faux alligator. It takes no time to break it in, and is super comfortable - you'll forget you're wearing the watch. Eco-Drive means you'll get at the very least 10 years without maintenance, although I've heard it can go to 20 years or more, and with the movement being rated at +/- 15 seconds a month, but mine running at -3, I will never buy another mechanical watch! The only down-side is that it's not a perpetual calendar, but you won't find that at this price point. Gorgeous and hassle-free; if you're undecided about this piece, I highly recommend just going for it. It'll get lots of compliments, too... beautiful things will do that.

It’s a classic timepiece with amazing detail. My only complaint is the double clasp bracelet, they don’t belong on leather straps in my opinion.
I got this watch at Macy's on sale. My wife wanted to know why I wanted another Eco Drive. Have used my Titanium for almost 20 years surfing, swimming, sailing. It is still keeping time. Even she commented on how nice this watch looks.
