I bought this watch for my husband. I liked that it is a good price for a luxury, Swiss made, automatic watch which has a saphire lens (more scratch resistant) and is sporty/water resistant to 30m. The one drawback is that it is bigger and heavier than I expected. I find it hard to evaluate the size from a picture and written dimensions. Either way, my husband likes it and does not feel that it is too big or too heavy. He took it to a certified Longines dealer to have the watch fitted which was a good idea. The dealer showed him how to wind the watch which is not self evident; it has a screw-down mechanism. This is actually more desireable and makes the watch more water resistant (I think). The dealer charged $15-20 to fit the watch, most local places charge $5-10, so not much of a difference.
