This watch definitely has the minimalist look down. Too many watches are oversized, but this watch has great proportions and the band is easy to adjust to whatever length you like.I appreciate how slim the watch is and this makes it easy to slip under the cuff of a coat, jacket or long sleeve shirt. It doesn't rattle around or get in the way. There are no unnecessary design elements to distract from the focus of the watch, which is simple form and function.There is no date on the watch to throw off the symmetry and the hands are highly visible in order to acquire the time. The hour markers are relieved into the dial and can be difficult to see under low light conditions.I would strongly recommend this watch for people who like fashion and want one watch to match many outfits. It would compare with the quality of fossil, MVMT, Daniel Wellington and other watches you might find at the mall.This watch has a Japanese movement and is highly accurate as well as robust.The part that will likely go first is the mineral crystal due to the ease of this material being scratched. However, sapphire crystals cost more than the price of this watch, so this is understandable.I love how easily I can adjust the band to be the right length and not have to go to a jeweler. It's very comfortable and it looks great, good construction!
