I bought this watch because it is very thin, attractive, and well priced.I have large wrists and wanted a watch that my shirt sleeve would easily slip over, unlike the thick Casio watch I have been wearing. It is very comfortable to wear and easy to read, although the date numerals are a bit small.The only negative is that it takes a bit to put on and clasp the band. I'd guess that is a trade off so that the band does not add a lot of bulk.
