If you're looking for a tough, inexpensive, good-looking watch, buy this.
I've used mine as a daily beater for around 1.5 - 2 months now, including some fairly rough use, and I am completely satisfied with my purchase.
Please understand that for the price ($41 at time of purchase), this watch is absolutely astounding value. It looks and feels like an $80-120 watch.
BUY NOWWhen I get bored with the rubber strap I plan to swap it out for a black leather strap. That should add to the already classy look of the watch and allow me to dress it up a bit more.
The case diameter is not ridiculously large but it is kind of thick; this is by no means a slim watch. Having said that, the thickness of the case looks and feels proportionate to the rest of the watch. The case is shiny stainless steel, not brushed or matte. I generally prefer brushed/matte as that's a more understated finish, however, this still looks pretty damn good.
I have received a few compliments on the looks of this watch from people who really notice watches. Other than that, this does the job of looking good yet understated.
I have to state again, for around $40 I really don't think you can do any better than this watch.
Yes, the luminescence is very weak but that's never really bothered me. If this is a major concern then I'd suggest you check out the Orient Mako with rubber strap (for around $90).
