If you want to be (or consider yourself to be) a thrifty trendsetter then this watch is for you. This watch is for women who like the quirky, funky fashions of Betsey Johnson but aren't particularly fond of her (latest) oversized timepieces. This watch is conservative enough for your business suit yet hip enough to wear with your sexy jeans, cute t-shirt and hot pumps. The crystal is bubble-shaped and the color of the dial & watch hands is closer to cobalt (but I don't mind because blue is my favorite color); however the showstopper is the clasp! My friends saw my watch & thought it was an old-fashioned buckle--until I removed the watch from my arm! When my friends saw that the I opened the clasp by squeezing the buttons on the sides, they were speechless. At first glance I thought the clasp would be difficult to manuever (sp) but it only took me a hot two minutes to figure it out. In fact it took me longer to open the package than to adjust the clasp. (Sidebar: I like gadgets so working the clasp was no challenge.) The leather watchband is thick and stiff but it becomes malleable over time. Overall this watch is worth this price; you will not be disappointed. Besides, in this economy, who wants to pay several hundred (or several thousand) dollars for a blinged-out timepiece when you can hold on to what's left of your loot & still make a fashion statement for a song? Ladies, if you want to stand out from the crowd buy this watch.
