Great watch. Beautiful color on the dial and leather band.The info on the specs says the Dial window material type is Mineral, it is acrylic. As I see it this is the only thing I don't like about Swatch watches at this price point.
Very Large Swatch June 11, 2009

I purchased one of these LARGE watches at a Swatch store during a recent trip to Europe. It was somewhat of an impulse buy as I generally prefer mechanical timepieces over quartz. Like another reviewer, I had the strap switched out for a stainless steel bracelet when I bought it. It wears very comfortably this way, although the brushed finish of the bracelet is in subtle contrast to the polished case. I have the original strap as well, so I can switch them out if I want to. I believe the crystal is acrylic and will be prone to scratching, but Swatch will re-polish their crystals at their stores if needed or the user can employ a product like Polywatch and touch up the crystals themselves. I prefer sapphire for it's scratch resistance, but there's a lot to be said for a material that is soft enough to be maintained by the user at home, as well. Mineral glass, on the other hand, is soft enough to scratch but too hard to repolish in the average home setting. Overall, I find the watch to be well made with a handsome legible dial, the lume is quite effective over a long period of time and the split second chrono is a hoot. Even though it is one of the more expensive watches in the Swatch range, I find it a good value.
 Great Eye Catcher - Comfortable and Functional March 3, 2009
J. Arnold (Southern California)
I bought this one from a Swatch company store in San Francisco. It performs well and looks great. Very trendy with current styles leaning toward the oversized look. And yet, it is superbly comfortable. This watch has a folding clasp married to the excellent quality leather band, instead of the traditional buckle. A very nice touch. The stop watch chrono is simple to use and precisely accurate. The Chrono features a split time function that is simple to use and and easy to re-set. Time measurements go down to a tenth of a second. Dials are clear, simple and straight-forward. Any racing buffs out there?
Re-adjusting for dials that may get miss-aligned from pilot-error, hard bumps, during initial setup or after changing the battery is painless when following the 1-2-3 easy printed instructions.
What I have found to be a great innovation is the slotted battery hatch built in to back of the solid stainless steel case, eliminating the PIA of replacing batteries, (like once every 3-4 years is a pain), and seemingly very secure. It's as easy as changing the battery in a calculator or flash light. Didn't think I'd like it, but now that I have checked it out, I find it very cool.
For me this was an impulse buy and my first Swatch. I paid full retail, which is a few dollars more than listed here. I liked it from the start and have no regrets. I've had several compliments and this one has zoomed to the top level of favorites in my collection.
I have no practical use for a Tachymeter, like the one on this watch. Not a racing fan. However, in all fairness, this Tachymeter is visible, functional and precise. Adds to the "High Tech" appearance and overall ambience of the watch.
My one dissapointment, however, is that the crystal is absolutely NOT scratch resistant. I've noticed 2 barely detectable scratches after a couple of weeks of wear. Really-really minor. I would not have noticed if the sun hadn't caught it just so. At a glance you can't see them at all.
As another reviewer suggested, it may be made of plastic or more likely harder acrylic. I tried to determine what material it is made from and could not find it specified anywhere in the Swatch material, web-site or in any other product descriptions. I am used to having scratch resistant mineral or sapphire crystals on most of the watches in my collection. This seems a bit old-school to me.
This may turn out to be a plus, as the crystal is huge and has a nice prominant domed profile. As large as it is, a harder, more scratch resistant mineral crystal may just be vulnerable to an impact crack or shatter. A hard sapphire crystal might surely be at risk. This is a very high profile crystal, a feature that adds much to the overall charactor of the watch.
My deduction of one star is because of the soft crystal. Other than that, this watch is a beauty, a bargain at the price. Quality all Swiss Made precision and I love it. I'll just be a bit more careful not to bang it around. It's way too large to be practical for use in any kind of manual labor, and I would not wear it for this type of activity. Accordingly I'm confident that any damage to the crystal will be minimal and inconsequential.
Definitely a great casual watch for office work or socializing. Noticeable, functional and trendy. I love it.
 Handsome watch, but scratches easily February 17, 2009
Joel Garfield (Houston, TX, USA)
Good looking watch. Extra-large (47 mm). I love the band. Crystal is plastic, though, so it scratches very, very easily. Overall decent every-day watch.
Attractive Watch April 28, 2008
Equilibrium (Miami, Fl United States)
I purchased this watch during my visit to Switzerland. When I purchased it, I had the band changed from the leather strap to a steel one.
The watch has a large face with prominent numbers and the wearer definitely will feel the weight of the watch.
It can be worn in all situations and will be, as the reviewer above listed, the focus of some attention.
