My wife bought this for me as an early Valentines Day present. The watch arrived last week, and I've pretty much had it one since opening the package. The box in which the watch is shipped is pretty impressive itself. The instruction manual is clear and concise, allowing you to set the time, date and month very quickly so you can begin to enjoy your new timepiece. Inside the box, you'll find a cleaning cloth, and your two-year warranty card. There is also a message from Stuhrling in the box, with details on getting a free one-year extension on the existing two-year warranty period. Simply put, I love this watch.I've been looking for a replacement watch for some time now. I FRY watches. If it has a battery in it, I fry it. I've looked into kinetic watches off and on, but wasn't too impressed with the overall appearances of most of the kinetic watches readily available in retail stores. Initially I was looking at the Stuhrling Original Cuvette Ultra-Slim Date Watch, it's a nice looking watch with a clean and classic face and one that I will consider in the future for a second watch. While trying to decide between the black or gray faced Cuvette, I came across the Symphony Skeleton and realized that it was the one that I wanted. The blue hands (and screws) add a nice contrast to the silver and brass colored pieces of the movement. The great quality leather black band goes nicely with the stainless case. Both my father-in-law and brother-in-law loved the watch when I showed it to them...but most importantly I love the watch.I would recommend buying a watch winder for this, as well as any automatic watch. I did not wear the watch for ~24 hours and found that it had stopped. I set the time, gave the crown a few turns and put the watch on, and its been spot on since then.
