A tasteful casual watch with a classic look

The watch face, casing, and band are exactly as shown in the product images. The only complaint is the band length is too short for a normal adult man. I can barely get the pin in the second notch, which doesn't leave enough to tuck the band into the loops to secure it. My hope is that I can find a longer band in the same color and hardware.

Nice watch. I'd definitely be interested in a titanium, crystal, with date, field watch if you ever get around to making one. That said great watch that keeps as close to perfect time as one could ask.

great features

I enjoy wearing this watch. Very reliable time. I've had it for a year.

Utilitarian and elegant

Overall, I think this purchase turned out better than I expected. The dial face turned out to be a bit larger than I thought but in retrospect that was for the better since my eyes are getting older and the larger numbers are easier to see. The white numbers against the black face give very good contrast. It also helps that the #12 and #6 digits are slightly larger than the other numbers. I wish the calendar feature was larger as one has to bring the watch close to the eyes to view them clearly. Or had black numbers on a white background instead of the converse for better contrast like one of the other Eco Drives I have. Just be aware that the wrist band might be an issue if your wrist is too small. Otherwise I had no issues wearing it so far. I have liked the Eco Drive ever since I no longer have to replace watch batteries or remember trying to keep a mechanical drive wound up from non-use. Just have to keep it near a light source.
