First off, I didn’t buy it from Amazon. I purchased it locally at a store sale, and improved over Amazon’s price. Not bragging… well, maybe a little. Just a case of being at the right place at the right time.
That said, I still feel like this watch is a great price from Amazon. It’s just that nice!
It was the largest watch in the jewelry case, which is what first caught my eye. I’m a big guy, and just don’t care for the weenie-size offerings of most manufacturers. There are some bigger watches on Amazon, but this one at 1 3/4″ case diameter is perfect without being gaudy. A word of caution: it is very heavy at 1/2″ thick, and if the band isn’t tight tight, the crown will be jabbing the back of your hand when your arm is down.
One reviewer stated the second hand wasn’t aligned with the tick marks. Mine is spot on. Another reviewer stated the glow-in-the-dark feature was less than stellar, however I haven’t had opportunity to check that out yet so I can’t comment.

This watch looks and feels like very high quality. The steel is well polished and the face is beautiful. The large numbers (all 12 of them) are very distinct and make it easy to tell the time. Many watches have 4 numbers and then dashes, but this watch is unique with all twelve large numbers. It keeps time very well and could easily be your low maintenance everyday watch. Some people prefer a quartz watch like this because it only needs battery maintenance once per year, rather than having to reset the clock every time you let it sit for 3 days like most automatics. Taking away one star because i don’t like day dates on my watches. I believe watches are show pieces like jewelry and I don’t want to mess with dates every other month. My cell phone is my gadget device.

This watch is nice, it was bought at Kay Jewelers as a wedding gift from my wife. I love the black display against the stainless steel and the large numbers and simple design make it stand out from more cluttered looking watches. So far it has kept perfect time, and I have washed my hands wearing it countless times and it doesn’t fog or any other negative effects. My only real problems are while it has a glow in the dark substance on the hands and hours that looks very cool it only works when going from direct sunlight to very very dark. Also it takes until about 5AM for the “Day” to change over the the correct day as it cycles off the old day into German? and then to the correct English day. I work graves so that is 5 hours when the day function is useless. Also the OCD in me doesn’t like the fact that the second hand stops in between the second hashmarks on the dial.
