I bought this for my husband to replace his Swatch watch which kept stopping despite the batteries being changed.
I preferred the gold version but was unsure if the plating was sufficiently durable. We do not like the mock crocodile(?) leather strap which he will replace! Neither the illustration nor description indicated other than a plain leather strap - which is what I wanted. Setting the day and date is fiddly and difficult - several attempts to get it set properly - however it is 'multi-lingual' which could be a plus for some. So far the watch has kept good time - only time will tell about its durability.It has a very clear, easy to 'read'face.
I did find the 5 year guarantee swayed my choice.
