This review is from: Kenneth Cole New York Men's Super-Sleek Collection Polyurethane Strap Watch #KC1557 (Watch)

This watch is very stylish,& modern looking, its something different than the usual looking watch. It looks good on me,I get complements about it. The only problem I have with it; it is advertised with a leather strap. In reality it comes with a rubber strap,a leather strap would have given it a more expensive look.I prefer a leather strap to begin with.As I stated before,its a differant watch,a modern looking watch than what everybody is wearing.

I like everything about this watch. It's exactly what I expected, but so much sleeker. It looks great, it's not super big and bulky or annoying. It also seems like good quality so it should last a while. I'm very happy with my purchase.

This review is from: Kenneth Cole New York Men's Super-Sleek Collection Polyurethane Strap Watch #KC1557 (Watch)

The cons during use: I dropped in on tile floor accidentally chipping the quartz face. Paid around forty to have it replaced and cleaned up a year later (moisture leaked in). Now that the urethane (rubber) band broke I am having a hard time finding a replacement band. The band widens as it meets the watch, making generics difficult. As for the glowing markers you need bettter night vision than me to see them. Still like it. Got compliments from people that actually took a look. But I got it to not stand out with other metalic watches people prefer.
