Overall this is a nice watch. Not too chunky like some watches that are available. The black casing is very pleasing to the eye. An added plus is that this watch does not need a battery. The two down sides are (1), the Nato strap - ok if you are appearing on SAS get me out of here ( or whatever this completely detached - from - reality TV show is called ), and (2), the glass face which is very reflective. When you look at this watch to tell the time, instead of just seeing the hands you also clearly see your face which really is not too good. Now I'm quite happy with my face - it's just that I don't want to see it when I'm trying to tell the time. Apart for the two quibbles, I do like this watch.
