I love this watch. I got it as a present for myself as my first automatic watch, and am in love with it. Tons of compliments, and the blue band is a great touch. My only complaint is that the clasp on the under side of the watch scuffs rather easily, and gets scratched if I wear it while I type on my macbook (since the macbook is metal). Not a big issue since the clasp is rarely seen, but don't expect it to stay unscratched.
I got this for my father for Christmas, he just loves showing it off for every accation.
This is my first automatic watch and I'm totally in love with it. It's definitely something different from quartz.
