Pros:good-looking watchfits well on wristslimkeeps good timeEasy to adjust, large bandCons:minute hand could be more visible; the second hand is much more obvious when looking at the watch face, and the minute hand - with only a thin luminescent white strip - can take a moment to find.Overall: a good watch for the money, it seems durable, is keeping good time, and is aesthetically in accord with what I generally like to wear.Update about 10 years after purchase:Despite having bought or been given 4-5 other watches over the past decade, this is the watch I keep coming back to. A decade in, it's still keeping great time and had never needed its battery replaced. (Hopefully I haven't doomed myself....) It has never, to my memory, set off the magnetometers at the airport (I travel too much). The sides of the band are getting a burnished, silvery tint, but other than that, there's very little evidence of wear. Frankly, this is one of the best watches I've ever owned, value for dollar and probably in absolute terms.
