Very beautiful watch. Dec 20, 2008
I have had this watch for 6 months now. I agree with the other reviewers, it looks so much better than in the pictures.
Sometimes at work, when the watch is hidden under my sleeve, and I let it show, the looks on the faces of the people around me is as if a girl just "flashed" her "boobs" in front of them, pardon my expression.
excellent watch Dec 09, 2008
I have had the watch for about a year. It keeps excellent time and is very handsome. I receive a lot of positive comments about it. It also has a large date display, good for those of us with older eyes.
Outstanding Nov 20, 2008
I did my research before I bought the watch and this was on top of my list compared with watches 2-3 times its list price. From looks and quality to function I'm very happy with my purchase. I agree, it does not shows the day of the week, does not has an alarm, etc, but neither do many watches way more expensive and not as good looking as this one. And yes, it's all about looks and quality, if it was just for function a $5 plastic watch would have done it.

Simply the best, but not 100% perfect... Oct 16, 2008
If it were possible, my actual rating would be somewehre between a 4.5 and 4.9. All other reviewers have hit the nail on the head! This watch does exactly what it says, and look beautiful.
While some gripe about a seemingly superfluous "Leap Year Dial", they fail to realize that it's this little dial that makes this watch such a marvel. In addition to the kinetic energy charge with power saving feature to ensure you'll never need a battery change, you will also never have to set the date again. How many watches actually have these two features?!
I only have a few minor reservations, so I'll list them first.
CONS:
- Weight: the watch is sometimes listed as "titanium" but is actually rather heavy (but not unbearable)
- Calendar features: no day of the week
- Finish: requires constant cleaning, as it's very prone to smudges. Also easy to scratch. This is not a good watch for outdoor activities :)
PROS:
- Impeccable timekeeping: in addition to excellent calendar, this watch doesn't miss a beat, and will go to "sleep" after 24 hours of inactivity to ensure it.
- Finish: looks gorgeous. Depending on the light, it's a nice black, or light shiny gunmetal.
- Size: I have quite a small wrist, and although this is a rather large watch, it still fits snugly around with a band adjustment.
- Bezel: virtually scratch free, clear, easy to clean, and shiny
- Price: while the list is $775, most places will sell around $450. I'd expect a watch like this to sell for thousands.
In conclusion, any watch aficionado will appreciate this watch for it's sheer beauty and features for it is a well crafted piece of jewelry. You'll just have to get used to cleaning & wearing a watch that's slightly heavier than most.
