So I went in search of the "perfect" watch (for me) under $200. After reading reviews, and looking at several brands, I kept coming back to this Bertucci watch.First, I wanted a "field style" watch face. As I am older, my eyesight is getting more blurry. So a basic, uncomplicated face was what I was looking for. The contrast of white numbers on a black background is great. Even with my glasses off, I can still read the time.Second, I wanted a watch that had a minimum of 10 Bar/100m water resistance. This watch is rated to 20Bar/200m! That was also one of the deciding factors, that swayed my opinion. Screw down crown, and screw down back creates a very water resistant watch. Crown is at the 4 o'clock position. This is great for comfort, since the crown doesn't dig into your wrist, when you bend your hand up. I thought it was a little odd at first. Now that I have it, I love this feature !!Third, solid lug bars, not spring bars. This sort of blew me away! Why hasn't this become the norm, in most watches being worn for work? Though I am not as hard on watches as when I was as a kid, this design should have been around a lot longer. I'm glad some one took the initiative and designed their watch with solid bars! Yes, you can only use pass through straps. But there are many of those. So many options.Now the benefit that I have have found with the solid straps: my watch stays centered on my wrist! My two piece Citizen watch does not. It wants to hold the watch face away from me, so I have to physically pull the watch towards me, to read the time. It's also not as comfortable wearing it. The Bertucci is lighter, and more comfortable than my more standard design Citizen.Fourth, Sapphire glass! It is flat, not domed. And recessed, so quite protected. Scratches on your watch face are a thing of the past. Could it get scratches? Sure. But you are going to really have to work on it, compared to mineral glass. And this was another box, that got a check mark.Fifth, 10 year Lithium battery. I have Timex, Casio, watches that have 3-5 year batteries. And when I saw 10 year battery, well, I checked that box too!Sixth, Titanium for the win! "Does Titanium really matter?" Yes! Super light. Like you are not even wearing a watch at all! And then with the way the strap passes through, this is the most comfortable watch I've had!Watch accuracy has been great! If the time on my computer is accurate, then the watch has only gained 10 seconds in the past month. Which is not out of the norm for any watch. Do your research on this, and this is normal. The only thing better is an Atomic/Radio watch. (next on my list!) If only Bertucci would create one!Three year warranty on the watch, and one year on their watch strap, this was what I was looking for.Con: As mentioned in another review, the date complication (date window) is the only gripe I have with this watch. Thin black number on a white background. Even with my glasses on, I can't read it. I would have preferred no date at all.Purchased from The Watch Co., out of California. Fast shipping, and trusted online company. (do your research, and check watch forums, for sellers!)I am VERY happy with my purchase. I've been wearing this full time, since I've received it. I do love my Citizen, but it has been relegated to "desk" clock.
