I saw this watch advertised and went into a local store to see it at Christmas, but thought maybe they will put it on sale someday. Well, as usual Overstock put it on sale first. And it was worth the wait. This watch uses the same movement as a watch by another major Swiss brand, but at about 1/4 the price. Its a BIG watch, perhaps not everyone's taste, but I think it has both a sporty/military look, and I can wear it with a suit and not look silly. The functions on this watch are fantastic: chrono, timer, alarm, dual time, various options for time/date/day-of-week display. And the look just turns heads. The packaging looks like it would be from a much more expnsive watch, and the manual is easy to read and understand, an its written in over a dozen languages.
