UPDATE 9/20/07

You will need a watch screwdriver! The band is attached with screws...they work out with wear.

AVOID!!!!





As others have commented, this is a very nice looking, thin watch with a very broad leather band.

The face is readable only with considerable ambient light. It is difficult to read in night street lighting, for example.

The date button is recessed and very difficult to engage without pushing a finger nail into it.

Note that the information from Amazon is incorrect. This watch does not have a Japanese movement. The watch and band are from China.


Adequate...best to wear to make a fashion statement.

it does look cool, but every now and then the watch stops working and nothing appears on the display. i have to push the date button to bring it back and have to reset the time again and again. problem started pretty soon, about 5 weeks after i got the watch. probably just my bad luck, but it's definitely not a pleasant experience...

I purchased the watch on Amazon and was very pleased with the fast proccessing and great product. I was drawn to the watch because of it's sharp design and modern elegant look. I was conserned wearable comfortable and a fasionable style. For me, it met both of those requirments and I have received many compliments on the watch since aquiring it.

I got this watch the first time I saw it at Sunglass hut. Its slim, mono, digital, minimal design is an eye catcher. The digital screen is very clear except for in the dark, since there is no light or glowing back screen. The watch has a leather band, is very comfortable and light-weight. Yes it does show second and date with the side button. Everybody that noticed this watch think it is cool. I don't even have to say much about it.

What not to like:
The leather waist band is screwed to the base and pop out after a year. To fix this, I got an eye-glass screw and seem to retighten it every couple of months. Also, since the watch is minimal there aren't too many features. I would rate this cool no frill watch 4.5 stars.

You guys have bad luck or something. :)
I've had this watch for 2 years now and have recently replaced the battery for the first time. My impression of this watch is good. It is hard to read in dark places but I am constantly out clubbing (nightclubs, dark) and can still read the watch -- can't say the same for other people trying to read MY watch. hehe :)
One thing to note, the back watch cover where you take it off to replace the battery -- it is screwed in with tiny tiny screws. Even I don't have a screw that small. Do not attempt to open it yourself without the proper tool, otherwise the screws will wear out quickly.

My girlfriend bought me this watch as a gift six months ago, and it's been great so far. It's definitely form over function, and lacks any extras. That said, people tend to compliment me on it.

The face could be a little more scratch-resistant- I try to take care of my watches, and this one doesn't look quite new anymore.

As for the reviews complaining of the lack of backlight.. it's annoying, but hardly insurmountable. The screen is extremely reflective, and even in darkened theatres, I've been able to see the time by turning my wrist until it catches whatever light may be floating around.

Haven't had any problems with the band popping out, but if I have to reseat the screws, I'll use a little bit of Thread Locker on them.

This watch is very modern and sleek. Fits snuggly and have not had any problems with the band as of yet. However, i do not wear it daily and only with certain clothing selection. I have gotten many compliments on it.

Bad:Minimal features for this watch.

Worst: No back lighting. this is the only draw back for this watch. Which should not happen in a watch made in today's age.

If you want a cool and modern watch, this should be your choice. Light in weight, confortable, but it does have 1 flaw... It does not have a light.

If you are in a dark place (movies, street at night, etc.) that's it, you can't see the time, it's just like wearing a wide piece of leather on your wrist, so, you better have a backup like your cellphone.

same problem as 1 star rater harry... it does look cool, but every now and then the watch stops working and nothing appears on the display. i have to push the date button to bring it back and have to reset the time again and again. HOWEVER, MY problem started pretty soon, about 2 weeks (not 5 weeks like harry..) after i got the watch.

I am shocked to see that I have been sent a watch which is malfunctioning. Light function is not working and there are some scratches insite the glass which as per Kenneth cole watch stores in India is due to water which has entered the screen. How can this seller do this to me.

I would want Amazon to take an action on this.

Action please....

Thanks
