Elegant, practical & comfortable
I'm very happy with this watch. I like the clear, simple, clutter-free display & that it's solar powered & light on my wrist. I've had it for a few months & so far, it's kept perfect time. My favourite feature is the fully-adjustable strap, which is comfortable & attractive. My previous watch had a metal strap with links & the pins kept breaking, so this one requires much less maintenance. I also didn't want a leather strap for ethical reasons, so this one is ideal.The only drawbacks are that on a couple of occasions I've somehow knocked it in such a way that the button has stuck out, causing it to change the time. But that has only happened a couple of times. Also, as the lines which indicate the numbers are actually tiny solar panels, they aren't luminous. This makes it very hard to read the time in low light conditions but feels like a fair trade-off for a battery with potentially a much longer life.It's clearly made with quality materials, which along with the solar battery means I'm sure it'll last a very long time - and look good doing it, too!UPDATE: I've had this watch for almost 2 years now & it's still going strong. Just wanted to add that while it's not why I bought it, it's received more compliments than any other watches I've owned, including more expensive ones.

A good priced watch
A nice watch looks good and great value for money.I would say it’s only downfall is its sometimes difficult to read the minute hand

Great looking but hard to read at night. I love it.
Great looking watch and easy to read during the day. At night the very thin minute hand make it hard to read but i dont really mind. The solar seems to works well which means i will never have to open it up and impact the waterprove nature. 5atm resistance is fine for showering. The shape gives the cleaver illusion of looking thin. All stainless steel but still very light.

Solar powered watch.
Love this watch! Looks really smart on my wrist and solar powered too. Had many comments about how good it looks. (Purchased the all black one) No more having to get a battery replaced. Apart from the numerals 3,6.9.& 12 the other are a tiny little panel which are actually the solar panels. Amazing and so small. Keeps time very accurately and once fully charged it last for about a year. Recommend this watch and brand no problem. Decent price too.

Super looking watch and very comfy to wear
I was looking for a Solar watch and having looked around I actually spotted this in an old local jewellers and thought the design and colour were just what I was looking for but I bought it cheaper on Amazon...When you first try to fit it ..it will be a bit stiff to open and close and once you work out the Millanese bracelet and they way to size it ..it works very well indeed and feels very secure..Practice will make perfect to fit it on your own wrist..It looks fab on the wrist and although the thickness is 9mm it doesn't show it once on the wrist because it nuzzles into the skin..I have worn it for 8 hours and it never makes my wrist sweat in any way, unlike some straps I have worn..It also (So Far) keeps very good time even to the second set by my radio clock..Excuse the pun..but only time will tell if it will last, as in keeping time once it's put in my watch box..They say 6 months in the instructions without light...I'll put that to the test and maybe report back...Great stylish watch and very comfy..CheersP.S....had the watch over 12 months now and it still keeps superb time (gained one second in 12 months)... Plus...the watch has really only seen real daylight 6 times and its still running flawlessly..Get one..you won't regret it..cheers

Smart, slim Solar watch. But…
Smart looking, slim solar watch. But very expensive and, clearly, nowhere near the quality of my other solar watch, a stainless steel model by a well known Japanese maker, which currently retails for quite a bit less.Plus - Press-on back vs. Screw-in back. Flimsy lightweight (dual pin per link) bracelet - even allowing for its titanium(?) construction vs. Clearly better quality construction bracelet with the fixed link and bracelet attachment pins to the watch all concealed.But I wanted an additional alternative to the stainless steel watch described above and, since gold (‘dress’) solar watches just don’t exist (presumably ‘cos they’re classed as ‘evening wear’… no sun, see!), I went for the blue face/black finish which, I hope, will not wear down in a few months. Fingers crossed.If you’re considering buying this as your only watch, and the ‘solar’ power aspect is not vital, watches of similar or, indeed, much higher quality, if not with the specific finish, are freely available for a LOT less money, from higher profile and respected, quality brand(s).Addendum: Further searching has revealed a couple of ‘gold’ finish solar watches available in the UK, but their construction looks as cheap, if not more so, than this. The main high quality brand I allude to above seems to have offered a couple of quality ‘gold’ solars in the past but, oddly (or not?) only in the US market. Mind you they look fairly ostentatious in design, but it is the USA! 😬

Good looking watch
Looks good on the wrist, quality seems to be high and the solar power means no faffing with battery changes. Easy to adjust the strap to get a perfect fit and very comfortable to wear. Really like the look of this watch. One small criticism; the second hand isn't very clear so, depending on the light, it can be hard to read the minutes to get the correct time.
