Got this watch as a birthday present last week - have worn it for 4 days in an office environment and already the black is rubbing off the band. There's lots of little quality issues that keep this from being a nice watch - the second hand doesn't line up with the marks as it sweeps. The date is hard to read once it changes to two characters (10 thru 31) because the first number is partially covered by the face. The tritium is not symmetrically aligned on the watch - the glow over the 12 is offset to the left a few degrees. There is no coating on the edges of the links where they meet - so when the band flexes, you see silver color between the links. I didn't expect the quality of a Rolex at this price, but this feels and looks like a $20 watch from Walmart. I'm really disappointed and I am returning this. Shame on S&W for pushing this junk -
