r it everyday so the battery never got a chance to discharge. I hate to drive to the mall and wait for half an hour just to get your battery swapped. And the new battery (which often cost a bundle) inevitably lasts much shorter than the original battery. That's why I stopped using my previous watch (which is a pretty good Victorinox).

2. Dual calendar. To me it's a must. I look at my watch to find the date to sign/date (and I do that quite often). During summer time when I'm not teaching, I can lose track of what day it is, so that's must for me too.

3. Reasonably clean face. How difficult it is to get a really simple, classic design: large numerals, black on white or white on black? It turns out: quick difficult. The numerals are too narrow for my liking. I'd go with the Timex watches if they had life-long batteries. On the balance, the design is good enough.

4. Price. For less than $100, it's got a very good value-to-price ratio. (I didn't find anything better 6 years ago, which is why I bought this one.)

CONS: (quite minor)
1. (This isn't their fault as much as mine.) Leather strap. I liked the classy look. The black leather definitely got that. But unfortunately, genuine leather doesn't like water (being a guy, that wasn't something I know as women seem to very early on). So what good is a water-resistant watch with water-phobic straps. After some contact with water and just sweating in ball games, the back side of the leather is in ugly shape. I suppose I can change the strap, but the point is you still have to worry about it if the new strap is still leather.

2. No glowing-in-the-dark hands. No matter how shiny the hands look like, you can't tell time in the dark. The thing that bugs me is how difficult is that.

3. You need to be careful pulling out the crown for date adjustment (which happens a few times a year, itself a nuisance). If you pull too hard, it'll get into the outer gear and you might accidentally change the time a little bit. (It happens to most watches that have dual calendar without perpetual calendar.) And I want my watch to be accurate -- it's not a piece of jewelry to me.

Neither:
1. Cover is not scratch resistant, but doesn't appear to scratch super easily.

It's been a good watch, especially considering the price. Since I'm in engineering, getting even minor issues addressed carries psychological satisfaction. So I'm getting a new watch that has atomic synchronization, perpetual calendar, eco-drive, and it's going to have stainless steel straps so in theory I don't need to worry about anything again. But that watch is setting me back $380.

赞成的意见：

1、光动能。

（当然）到目前为止，我每天都戴它，所以电池还没有机会放电。我讨厌开车去商场等半个小时，只是为了换电池。而且新电池（通常要一捆）必定比原来的电池用的时间短。这就是为什么我不再用以前的手表（是一个很好的维氏手表）。

2、双日历。

这对我来说是必要的。我要看手表来找日期（我经常这样做）。在夏天，我不在教学的时候，我会忘记是哪一天，所以我也必须要有这个。

3、可合理清洁的表面。

买到一只简约、经典的手表有多难？大数字，黑面白底或者白面黑底就行。结果事实证明：非常困难。数字太窄了，我不喜欢。如果它们有终生使用的电池，我会觉得它和天美时手表一样。平衡一点的是，设计是足够好的。

4、价格。

不到100美元，它有一个很好的性价比。（6年前我没有发现比这更好的东西，所以我买了这个。）

缺点：（很小）

1、表带（这不是他们的错，也不是我的错）。我喜欢优雅的表面，黑色皮革肯定是这样的，但不幸的是，真正的皮革防水（作为一个男人，我不知道这一点，因为女人似乎很早就知道）。那么有防水表带的手表有什么用呢？与水接触后，皮革背面会特别丑。我想我可以换根表带，但关键是如果新表带还是皮的话，还有点担心。

2、黑暗中指针不发光。无论指针看起来多么闪闪发光，你都无法在黑暗中看清时间。令我烦恼的是这真的困扰了我。

3、你需要小心地拔出表冠进行日期调整（这种情况每年都要调几次，本身就很麻烦）。如果你用力过猛，它会进入外齿轮，你可能会不小心改变一点时间。（大多数手表都是不带万年历的双日历）。我希望我的手表准确一点，这对我来说不是一件首饰。

不满：

1、表面不耐刮，但不太容易划伤。这是个好手表，考虑到价格。因为我是工程专业的，即使解决一些小问题也会带来心理上的满足感。所以我得到了一块新的手表，它有原子同步，万年历，光动能设备，有不锈钢带，所以从理论上说，我不需要担心任何事情了。但是那只手表为我省了380美元。

timepiece itself is great, and once I got it set I haven't had any issues at all. Setting it was a bit trickier than I expected; make sure you take your time because the crown pulls out to different levels to set the hour and minute hands. I gave it a full day of charging, as was reccomended, and haven't explicitly charged it except as it's been out and about while being worn.

The only drawback is that the band isn't really the highest quality. At this low price point, it's to be expected, but it did crease very quickly - especially on the bottom band where the holes are. I think this is why they chose the "cracked" leather instead of a smooth style, so it doesn't stand out quite so much. While it's being worn a person would have to be looking for it to notice it, though. You could change the band if you wanted, and I will when/if it becomes necessary, but it's actually quite comfortable. The entire watch it nice and light and wears really well.

This watch is perfect if you're looking for a nicer looking daily driver watch, that can also dress up as the occasion requires it. The watch looks exactly as shown by the manufacturer.

唯一的缺点是表带质量不好。在这个低价位，这是意料之中的，但它确实很快就折皱了，特别是在表孔的底部。我想这就是为什么他们选择有裂纹的的皮革而不是光滑的皮革了，这样就不会太明显。然而戴着的时候必须注意这个。如果你想，你可以换表带，我觉得这是有必要的，但它实际上很舒服。整个手表又轻又好看。

这个手表是完美的，如果你正在找一块平时戴起来就好看的手表，还可以在正式场合戴着，这块手表就很棒。

e strap. As mentioned in some of the other reviews, it's kind of the weak point: not the most stylish imo, and seems like it's a few sweaty jobs from falling apart. But straps are easy to replace. I kinda welcome the opportunity to customize.

The ugly: impossible to view in the dark, and the weekday doesn't change over at midnight. These, unfortunately, cannot be remedied. It astounds me that the designers could fashion such a sophisticated work of art, yet leave out such a basic thing as to allow its use at night! Or to do all the work of the date complication alongside accurate timekeeping, but not bother to ensure a precise transition at an accurate time! Ridiculous. With items entirely built for precision, accuracy, and detail, those details are of paramount importance. Its very closeness to perfection makes these blatantly ignored and simple details all the more abhorrent.

优点：它是漂亮，比我能在这个水平找到的任何其他手表都更有层次，而且质量也很好。可以和西服搭配，也可以和登山装备搭配，光动能真的很不错。

缺点：表带。正如一些其他评论中提到的，这是一个缺点：在我看来，这并不时尚，似乎是不太好的设计。但表带可以换，我很喜欢这个定制的机会。

不满：在黑暗中看不到，就算在工作日午夜也不会改变。不幸的是，这些无法弥补。令我惊叹的是，设计师们可以设计出如此复杂的艺术品，而忽略了允许它在夜间使用这个基本的东西，或者将所有的日期都保持精确且复杂。实在是荒谬，这些细节完全是为了精确而设计的，非常重要。它近乎完美，但这些被忽略的简单的细节有点讨厌。

mplicity of the design, and the technology that charges the battery. As far as today's watches go, this one has a fairly small case, only 38mm, harkening back to the designs of the late 50's. It looks good enough to wear to dinner, yet rugged enough to wear every day. I would gladly recommend this watch to anyone.

nging the date, as months with fewer than 31 days require it, as expected. I am happy that the watch band is replaceable, as my former citizen watch had a permanent irreplaceable watch band, at least that's what the jewelers told me. It had begun to corrode after nearly 15 years of constant wear, so no real problem, but being able to replace it would have been nice.
