Brimming with detail and loaded with additional functions, the Kenneth Cole men's automatic watch is worth coveting. The intricate face features almost fully exposed automatic movement, for a captivating appearance. A thin black dial surrounds the movement and displays gold-tone indexes and a tachymeter while luminous hands light the way. Four sub-dials are placed directly on top of the movement, providing visual depth and greater usability. A mineral crystal and a 42.5-millimeter stainless steel case and bezel protect this watch's delicate inner workings. A 24-millimeter black band of polyurethane, with an adjustable buckle, keeps this delightful timepiece secure. It is water resistant to 330 feet.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice looking watch but NOT a chronograph, February 7, 2010

I've often seen this watch listed as a chronograph. You need to be careful though because this is NOT a chronograph. The pushers on the side make it look like a chronograph, but they are used to set the DATE (month, day) NOT to start a chronograph (stopwatch) timer. That being said, it's a really nice looking watch for a reasonable price. I like the rubber strap and the weight makes it feel substantial. It's big but not huge. Just the right size in my opinion for somebody with average-small wrists. Just don't buy it expecting a chronograph.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Time Piece, August 8, 2008

This review is from: Kenneth Cole New York Men's KC1491 Automatic Watch (Watch)

I just recieved this watch the other day from Amazon and love it. I went to a major retail store, tried it on and it looked and felt great on my wrist but they wanted MSRP. I went home and searched online and found it on Amazon for almost half the price. The delivery was fast and ahead of schedule. The only negative is that you can bearly see the month and date but overall I am very happy.

The clear view into the operation of the watch is incredible. The center button on the right did lose its cap, but its still nice. Carful with the other buttons too. Overall I love the watch!
