I went back and forth on this watch for weeks. I ultimately chose this watch because it had the rubber band, the blue frame under the bezel, and the stripes in the face. The watch arrived on time, looks great, but the striping on the picture is nowhere close to what this watch actually has. My watch has very little, if any, striping. I do love the look of the blue and I believe the watch looks elegant for my uses (home, restaurants, office primarily). I just wish that the striping was more pronounced.
Great Watch, love the feel and wear, the only thing keeping it from being 5 stars is that at night or in low light it's hard to read. I purchased it mainly for swimming, snorkeling, so not a big deal.
Nice watch, but minimal illumination feature. I can barely make out if the hands glow or not, this is the only disappointment
