CONVENIENT!!!
This watch is the most convenient item I've ever owned. After having worn it for several years, it has never had to be serviced. Because of a small pendulum like device inside the watch, there is no need to wind it. This also means you never have to worry about a battery because there isn't one in there! By simply wearing it and moving it around, it always stays wound and running!
It was affordable enough that I can wear it everyday, but stylish enough that I can wear it to formal functions.
The only drawbacks are that it is not totally waterproof. (I can wear it in the shower and often run it under water to rinse it off if I get some soap on it while washing my hands.) I have to make sure to take it off before I go diving or swimming. Also, if I don't wear it one day, it will still be running the next day, but if I don't wear it for two days in a row, I'll usually have to reset the time.
Also, the watch has a date window on the face, but it always cycles 31 days, so at the end of the month I usually have to change the date.
Overall, for the price and for the fact that you never need batteries, it is definitely a great everyday watch.
