This watch look and feels expensive. It feels very durable and solid. The case is thick and well made, although it's a little too polished for my preference, but it looks great. The lume is amazing, incredibly bright and detailed. Battery life is good so far. The chronograph complication works perfectly, and actually functions as a stopwatch.
Unfortunately, there were a few things that kept it from five stars.
The main issue was the band. The band is made from extremely firm leather, which is actually real leather and very high quality, but since the material is so firm and difficult to move around, it makes it difficult to put on and take off the watch quickly, or even in a normal manner. To make matters worse, the band is not removable, and I had to take it a watch specialist to remove the band.
The good news is that once the band is removed, you can buy a 22mm leather band that works with the watch. I specifically looked for a band that was thinner material that is easier to manipulate, or put on.
Aside from the band, the crown does not screw down, which is fine but it would be nice if it did, and when you unbox the watch for the first time, the chronograph buttons above and below the crown have a blue film that you have to remove somehow. I had to scrape it with my fingernail and it took a few minutes but the good news is it comes off relatively easy.
Other than the band, overall this watch is very nice and I'd recommend it! I acknowledge everyone has preferences with watch bands, and if you like thick, tough, sturdy leather bands, this is absolutely the watch for you. However, if you're like me, and prefer thinner leather, I'd still recommend it, but you'll spend an extra $40 just getting the band how you'd like it.
