Background: I got this on a whim when Amazon had them as a Gold Box offering.
I have several watches, and this is probably my favorite. Of critical importance, the watch itself keeps good time, and it's easy to read (at 43mm it OUGHT to be easy to read!). The "deployment band" is extremely convenient - it looks like a conventional buckle strap, but opens like a non-expanding metal bracelet band. I've been very pleasantly surprised by this watch, and have put "Swiss Legend" on my shopping list for personal and gift purposes. I'm compelled to give it 4 stars rather than a full 5 just because the "chronograph" function feels a little awkward.
Be aware - this is a very large, heavy watch. I'm a fairly big guy, and can get away with it -- a much more lightly-built friend called it a wrist weight and joked about getting two to wear at the gym. A useful side effect is that the watch is actually a conversation-starter.
At some point, I'll probably get the brown or the black version since they're a trifle more "formal" than the blue -- the accent stitching on the dark blue leather band is a bright, electric blue that doesn't show in the photos.
