No batteries is a plus. Don't like clasp for band. The tool is worthless for changing links. You feel has if you are going to break something. Piss poor instructions. I took it to a shop to get links taken out.It is a good looking watch.I will start by saying that this is the most inexpensive watch I have ever purchased. I usually buy watches in the $125.00 and higher range. Having said that this watch is a very nice looking piece. It is light weight, easy to read and if it gets damaged while wearing it at work I will not be too upset.The band is very big, I had to remove several links and I used the removal tool that came with the watch. Is the tool cheaply made? Yes! Does it remove the pins in the links? Yes, as long as you are careful and align it properly with the center of the pin and push in the direction of the arrows on the band links.Pros: Nice looking watch, light weight, large dial, easy to read, it has luminous hands, the watch band is plenty big enough for most wrists, great price, came with link removal tool.Cons: The watch band is kind of cheap feeling, the Roman Numeral VI is upside down, the numerals are not luminous, the link removal tool is cheaply made (but at least it came with the tool).Overall I am happy with this watch, it is a great watch that you can wear every day without worrying about it getting damaged. It is absolutely worth $30.00.**Update: After wearing this watch for a while I could not get the band comfortable on my wrist. I added another link but it did not help. The metal band is very rough on the edges. Anytime I moved my wrist the band would dig into my skin. I ultimately ended up returning it. Too bad it was a very nice looking watch.Would definitely refer to friend..I got it had to take out a few link but i ove itThe tool that came with it to adjust the band does not work it looks like it may be made incorrectly The watch is nice I will have to take it to a jeweler to get the band adjustedWorks great easy to adjust the wrist band. Don't break from just washing your hands in hot water and economicalThe watch came in a beautiful box! It was a little too big for my husband's wrist but the awesome tool that came with it to remove extra links was a wonderful gift to include. This was a Christmas gift from me and kids and my husband's face lit up with joy when he saw it.
