Definitely surpassed my expectations. This watch is a great choice for inbetween sporty and formal. I love that's it two-tone with subtle, not gaudy crystals. It's very easy to read and it's removeable link made the strap small enough to fit my small wrist. Reading the Overstock description, primarily the size details, after I had ordered it had me very concerned that the face would be as large as a man's watch and facing a $10 inspection fee to return it was very upsetting, but I was very pleasantly surprised when it arrived and it turned out to be no larger than most other women's watches. I'm so glad I wasn't able to cancel the order when I tried. It is a truely beautiful watch.
