This really is a beautiful watch. The exquisite detail doesn't show up in the photos. And I love the Eco-drive technology. About the band: the opening & closing mechanism is inside the band - and it takes up quite a bit of room. So when you get it sized, you might want to add 3/4 of an inch to your wrist size.
I bought this watch for my wife for Christmas. I attempted to set the date and time and couldn't get the day set. The time was fine as well as the date number. Just haven't figured out the day.
Beautiful watch but the clasp with the protruding tabs for unlocking it dig into the skin and make it very uncomfortable. With a different clasp it would be a 5 star watch.
