You can see and feel the quality of the watch right off. The band is great. Has two clasps of sorts to ensure it doesn’t open accidentally but not intrusive when putting on and taking off. A nice weight too the watch also. Great overall so far. Great that it is waterproof for outdoor activities.
Second does not illuminate very well. I purchased this watch for my husband who is a hospital physician. He was wanting a watch with a bright second hand. This does not provide that.
