I am extraordinarily picky with things that I purchase/own. I research them until I'm contemplating my purchase in my sleep. I wanted a watch for time keeping, as I have never been early to anything except my own birth. I had simple (to me) requirements. 1) No digital displays 2) Smaller size, I have small wrists and hate things on my wrist 3) an alarm for travel, my phones have been unreliable with international time keeping and this is the major reason for a watch. This time, I left it to my parents. I was spending too much time waffling and researching on my decision. This all happened late last year, I wanted to wait to see how the quality was before I even posted and so far this watch has been treating me right, except for one weird issue.



See that black, sorta plastic-y, watch band? It. Smells. Weird. And not in a plastic or rubber-y scent. It smells like candy. It kinda changes, maybe with heat or moisture, from a chocolate to a sweet vanilla scent (to me). It has dissipated over time, but still there. Kinda smells like hot cocoa at the moment.... Must have a scratch resistant glass, because I have banged this bad boy on corners and walls from here to Germany and still looks good. I think I might as for one in a different style for every Christmas until I have one for every situation and wardrobe combination.

That's a very nice looking no nonsense watch,I like it.Better the watch smells like candy than stinky wrist sweat. It's for that very reason why I prefer metal watch bracelets as opposed to leather or nylon bands.
