This watch caught my eye at Kay Jewelry and my wife got it for me for Christmas. I liked the look and the battery-less operation. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out it is rugged and water-resistant. I can use it when swimming, hiking, etc. The band does not stretch and is also sturdy.
I used this watch for years as my beater and it's still going strong. The fact that it has a date window on it is exactly what you need for everyday getting up and going to work use too!
the black paint has worn off of this watch. also the watch band smells bad if you sweat any. very disappointed
the canvas band is what caught my eye and enticed me, the eco drive is what sold me....all the folks complaining that its too dark cant read, very disappointed - you saw the watch when you went to choose it, it is black on black what were you expecting a light up every time you look at it, you knew what you were getting, why are you complaining about it - - i love the watch, it has so much wardrobe versatility...its a win for me
Really love the look of this watch. Band is super comfy and metal size holes should keep band from breaking down. Only problem is you cannot see what time it is when it’s semi dark. Daylight no problem but the hour and minute hands needed illumination and they don’t have it. So if your primary purpose wearing this watch is to tell time at night, I don’t recommend. If your primary purpose is to look cool and have a durable watch, then buy it. We all have cell phones to tell time if we really need to nowadays.
This is a great watch- clean and classy. Only downside is the face is rather dark. If you are in a mild-moderately lit room you will have to turn the face of the watch towards a light source in order to make out the hands. (I have good vision and don't need glasses)
So happy...........................................
I bought this watch at the beginning of the summer and have gone mountain climbing, canoeing, and hiking all I’ve the Appalachian trail and through the Shenandoah as part of a summer job. I’ve had a lot of messy jobs this summer, and this watch has held up through all of it.
If I had it to do over again I would have selected a different watch. It's very difficult to read except in direct light. The band is a bit small for me too.
