This is the watch I was looking for!

The dial is white, without color reflections like you can see with mother of pearl. I also love the design of the numbers 4,8 and 12, the rest are little diamonds.

The 3 chronographs are: 60-minute timer, 24 hour hand, and at the bottom second hand. At first I thought the second hand is the long hand like you see on every watch, but this is 60 second stopwatch. It`s always at 12 o`clock position (if you want to measure seconds you have to push the top button at the right, if you want to reset push the 3rd on the right and it goes rapidly to 12 o`clock again). The instructions are very easy, I actually set the watch without reading.

The band is very nice too, I got 2 links removed and now fits perfectly. It has hidden clasp so it won`t scratch or pull any fabric. Although my watch was a little bit dusty (maybe a display model before), I am happy. I removed the dirt with a q-tip. The stainless steel is very shiny. The weight is just perfect; not heavy at all, but of course not light like titanium watches. Shipping was fast. Now I`m checking the time, if everything works like suppose to.

My husband also likes this watch. Its more classic yet modern than others with a similar style but more 'bling' factor (f.e.Bulova 96R19 or Invicta 4718-those are nice, but I wasn`t crazy about them and I didn`t want any bling PLUS Invicta is way to heavy with invisible diamonds). Great with jeans, but will work for an elegant dress too. It`s not too big (like my Casio Baby-G), but I was looking for a little bit oversized. It won`t go out of style, it`s simple but not boring.

I`m gonna love it for a long time!

Update April 2009- the watch looks awesome in the sun, shines like a fine piece of jewelry. I have a lots of compliments! Still loving my watch!:)

Hi, I bought this watch from Amazon last November as my wife's b'day present. She had been looking for a good chronograph that was not too big, smart and that goes with office as well as casual attires. I looked through many watched but I chose this one for its design and neat interface. It is also not cluttered with too many diamonds. She really liked this watch and prefers it over her more expensive watches.

I absolutly love this watch! I looked for a long time before I decided on this one and it was a perfect match to what I wanted. The size is perfect, not too big and not too small. The face is white instead of mother of pearl which I like better because it's crisp and easy to read. The jeweler who removed some links for me comented on how nice it was. The diamonds are very nice not over done yet not cheep looking. I will add a picture of the watch on my wrist as it would have helped me alot in choosing. I would recommend this watch to anyone looking for a chronograph thats not too big for a ladies wrist. Love It Lisa

I BOUGHT THIS WATCH BASED ON THE UPLOADED PICTURES FROMA THE REVIEW POSTED,IT LOOKED SO NICE,I CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT,MERRY CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM MY DAD.

This watch is great!. I wanted to have a big watch but when I saw this one... I just felt in love because is different. The size is perfect... not too small, not to big. Yesterday, I went to the mall to adjust the band of the watch and the owner of the store told me: "What a great watch!... This must have cost you a lot!".... (Nope.. I bought it at Amazon) :) Worth the price!... you wont regret it!

I looked at alot of watches on amazon before ultimately settling on this one. I love the russian diver men's watches, but they are always around 50 cm., far too big to be a unisex watch, at least for a woman with small wrists like me.

This watch gave me a refined, feminized version of that technical, chrono look I wanted. In fact, the watch is much more refined and high-quality looking than I expected. Probably the nicest surprise is that the 6 diamond accents on the face are actually visible and do look as nice as the picture. Often, when ordering a "diamond" watch on-line I've been disappointed with what turns out to be "diamond bezel" or a twisted mess of metal, shaped to look like it once held a diamond, but the diamond fell out.

I was a little worried about how the plain white face would look, but it looks great. It's plainness shows of the diamonds and the detail of the 3 chronograph timers, which are high polished chrome.

The face is substantial in weight, not too chunky. It was somewhat distracting before I got the band adjusted to proper fit, but even when the watch was loose, the face did not flip to the bottom of my wrist. A very well-balanced time piece.

While this watch looks a lot bigger on in the pictures.. its still a nice size. I prefer larger faced watches even though I have a small wrist. I like the contrast. This watch is gorgeous nonetheless. I get tons of compliments on and it was easy to set it. I've had other Chronos that were very difficult to set. I had to have a few links removed (again, I have the wrists of a 4 year old) and that may cost you a few extra bucks at a watch repair/jewelry store but it's well worth it.

This watch is so beautiful! excelent design, weight, and size. It looks well with different types of clothes. My wife loves it! we really recommend it!
