After almost three years of daily use, this watch is still in pretty impressive shape and I have thoroughly enjoyed wearing it as my first ever daily watch. The color scheme of the military green band, black face, and steel/silver colored case and metal give it a classic yet rugged look that can be worn with almost any outfit. I
BUY NOWdon't have the huge wrists/forearms of a major league ballplayer, and prefer my watch to be small and fit comfortably under the sleeve of a sweater or shirt if need be, so the 38mm face works well for me (if you want a monster watch face, move along). I like that the time is easy to read as they didn't muddy the face up with a ton of pointless text and numerics, and the white type on black makes everything stand out. Only bummer is winding the date/day feature once in a while, but I'm rarely trying to figure out the day or date, so when I miss a period and need to adjust it, I labor for 10 seconds and life is back to normal again.
I've gotten it wet (though never swam) and the band dries quickly and the watch is still perfect. I could see some people finding the band fitting slots annoying if you happen to fall between two spacings, but that should be a very small group of folks (i'm unsure if the slots on this band are spaced any differently than a standard leather band).
I bought it for $87 back in June 2012, and when I wrote this the price was $108. Not a huge price jump, but surprised it's over $100.
Added two pics to show:
-Scratches on face (though all very minor), but that's expected after nearly 3 years of daily use and not being careful on how I set it on the counter and what not (I tried to get the lighting to hit it just right to amplify the scratches)
-One of the two straps that holds the extra end of the band down is half frayed through (the second one, so the one nearest the end of the band)
