Now have a new favorite watch. Lightweight, easy to read, this is my daily go to watch.
In a month, it has gained 1 (ONE!) second. The only issue I have is that when I took it to the jeweler to have links removed (I have small wrists), he found that 3 of the pins were incorrect and lose, replaced by the original jeweler (I bought mail order) he assumes. A little glue ... and I hope it holds. My previous watch was a Seiko titanium; it was physically damaged ... and I really prefer their clasp.
Sure, you want a watch to look good, but it also have to work well. This watch is very accurate, easy to read, never needs batteries. I've worn watches for six decades. Cheap watches are not as accurate, some expensive watches look good but are not very durable. Wind up is a real pain, auto winding was better, batteries wee great until they dies, usually when on a trip and no handy place to replace it. The Eco Drive eliminates all those problems. That was the decision maker for me, then it was just a matter of finding the style I like.
Love this watch, the titanium is light weight and attractive. The face is easy to read. Would like a little larger date window, but overall this watch is all I expected it to be.
