Good, though not great.
Overall, a nice watch. Very light (titanium) and comfortable, and very easy to read. Love the big date feature - much easier on my old eyes. Timekeeping has been very accurate. I like elapsed time bezels, and use them constantly to mark time. This bezel has hour indexes, but I've had no trouble glancing at it and knowing how many minutes have elapsed. I'm looking forward to taking the watch to another time zone and trying the bezel for keeping track of time in the other time zone.On the downside, the Bund strap is complete junk - you should budget for a replacement. The lume is a bit weak compared to all my other watches - it's adequate at night, but barely. Also, I feel the price is a bit on the high side for what you get, though not outrageously so. I would buy this watch again.

I found this watch on a Google search looking for a big date function. I wear this watch every day to work. The big date and the styling were worth the price of admission to me; the sapphire crystal and titanium case really make this an attractive, bang-for-the-buck watch. I ditched the included band for a black Zulu. Check out the review on youtube for the automatic version sporting an Isofrane band.The watch wears fine on my 7.25" wrist.Edit: Forgot to mention, the gaps between the case and spring bars allow nearly any available thickness of one piece watch strap to be worn. A 1.75 MM leather strap fits fine.
