Now I know some people are more into keeping up with the Jones but this is a Quartz watch which we all know keeps better time than almost any automatic. It's really elegant (but fairly larger 42mm face) and its face is more pearly/shiny than it can seem in pics. It even seems to take on a more cream color face vs brighter white depending on the ambient lighting. It's really something and you can tell it's made with care. Dials and details are a notch up from your regular watch and leather band is pretty nice. Some people prefer a variant where the face is full glow in the dark which is cool but this one is a bit more dressy. Can't say anything bad really about this watch. Also note you should watch YouTube to learn how to set alarm...its easy enough but not super intuitive and alarms going off unexpectedly are a PITA.
