Nice watch
I like the look of this watch. I bought it for my friend’s birthday but I won’t know how he likes it until after 9/17/08. I really can’t give a proper review right now. I want to hear what he has to say about it.
Thanks

Good - but could be better…
Functions as advertised but both a little heavy and tight on the wrist - should come either with extra links or with coupon for adjustments…

A cute little watch
The watch face is a little smaller than I thought it would be. I prefer watch faces at least 44mm in diameter. It is also thinner than I like but it will fit nicely under dress shirts. I own about 15 watches with five or so of them being Eco-Drives. This is the smallest by far.

Be aware that the design of the band means that the first three links on either side of the case do not bend very much. This tends to hold the band away from your wrist rather that following the curve. The band and face are a classic design and nothing spectacular. I’ll wear it over the next few days to see if I like a “smaller” watch.

Update: I like the watch, it’s like the dashboard of a small racecar. It won’t be a watch that I’ll wear as often as my other ones but it looks good on my wrist and it the least obtrusive watch I own. My final thought? It’s a nice product but it doesn’t get me excited to wear it.
