I bought this watch for everyday use, to wear when not wearing my really sporty all-weather watch with Velcro band or a much dressier watch for special occasions. I love the classic look of the watch itself, its slimness, and the Bulova reputation. However, the expansion band was several links too large for my small wrist, so I had to take it to a watch repair shop to have some removed. The links are large enough so now the watch is a bit too tight, yet would be too loose if I had one of the links reinserted. Nevertheless, the total look is great and suits my purpose well. I bought the watch at a reduced "Black Friday" price, so am very content and can always switch the band later if necessary. I looked at lots of watches in stores and read all the Amazon reviews before selecting this one and still think I made an excellent choice.
