Customer Reviews: My Perfect All-Around Watch June 13, 2010 CliffyMon (myrtle beach) I've looked at thousands of watches for my personal use. After all that window shopping, this is the watch that hit the target. Looking for something that is durable and capable of being sporty and dressy looking at the same time. And impressive looking. People ask to see it on my hand. Then, I let them try it on themselves.
This watch fits the bill for me perfectly. It's incredibly lightweight. I think it's absolutely beautiful, classy. It looks like a watch worth 2-4 times the price. The features are all functional and the depth in the dial features is astounding and glistening every time I look.
Very easy to read. Just a delight. I'm supremely happy to have found this watch at this price and to have had it delivered so quickly too.
Nice Looking Watch, but Flimsy February 10, 2009 Johnny (Miami, FL) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is a stylish watch. However, it is a bit flimsy. The band is lightweight aluminum, and the crystal is plastic. It also appears that the case is plastic (but it is aluminum). The second hand is not precise and does not tick exactly on the markings on the watch face.
The style of this watch is a 4.5 (on a scale of 5), but the quality is about a 3. It's a Swatch - which is known for style and not quality. True, but the price of this watch is over $150.00 normally. Based on quality, however, this isn't worth more than $40.
However, if you are looking for a nice all-black casual watch with a black face and black bezel, it will be very difficult to find one unless you look at the MTM or other military tactical or pilot-type watches. Those watches start well over $250. Those types of watches also tend to be gigantic and cumbersome, whereas this Swatch is not. If you pay full price for this Swatch, you may not be happy with the quality. If you can get it discounted (such as on Amazon), then it is slightly better deal, but not by much.
