This watch is just sexy. Very light to wear so I dont feel the weight in the rush hours of your train commute. And since in this age where there is time everywhere this watch still gives you clear dial to have a look at the time.

The strap has a smooth texture from within inside. Takes away all your sweat.

For $30 this watch is a steal.

I'm not a big fan of wearing watches but my lifestyle now demands it. Finally I can wear an attractive, simple, elegant watch for more than a few months before breaking it. The durability is excellent and even the watch band is perfectly intact. The crystal is still spotless after daily wearing for several months. The case is stainless steel and the entire watch has a feeling of perfect inertness with no loose parts and no flaky crown. Accuracy is superb--I have never had to correct the time. I bought the large face for myself and the small face for my wife and we're very happy with it. They were both on the Amazon Friday Sale for about twenty dollars each. Even for that kind of money, the quality is in line with the list price of almost eighty dollars.

The box the watch comes in should be thrown out. The corners are extremely sharp and will cut your fingers, hurt your kids, or scratch your furniture. Perhaps this is why the watch is discounted so heavily.

Grab it!

***EDIT*** It is 2009 and I need a new battery. The back opens easily for replacement. This simple plastic-and-metal watch is a rare find for people who like simple, utility, daily-wear watches. I really like the raised numbers on the face (even though they are plastic). I keep looking for similar watches but it's hard to find a watch that emulates the simple elegance, durability, and reliability of this one I got from an ordinary Amazon Friday Sale over five years ago.

***EDIT*** The crystal didn't survive my do-it-yourself battery change. Take it to a jeweler or buy a watch press with nylon dies if you're going to change the battery yourself.

I have had this watch for six months. It is so thin and light that you cannot tell you have it on. It is very accurate. I sometimes miss the second hand, but it is not necessary. I can't think of a single reason not to own this watch - especially at this price. My wife won't let me buy another one that I can pull out when my current one dies - I tried to do that last night.
