This watch is beautiful and bold!The silver-encased black face gradually gives way to a deep, rich, dark blue, adding visual depth to this watch's face that will mesmerize anyone who admires it. Without exaggeration, the face looks like it glows without emitting any light. Paired with the striking silver hands and the crystal accents, this time piece is an inevitable eye-catcher guaranteed to garner attention from the people around you and to break the monotony in any watch collection. However, the true beauty of this piece is in its ability to do so without looking arrogant.As for the Swarovski crystal accents, they sparkle vibrantly day or night, producing high-price style in a low-price manner. Furthermore, the crystal accents are bigger than I anticipated. I own two other watches with Swarovski crystal accents and the crystals in this watch are significantly bigger. Essentially, Armitron outfits this watch with crystals that are big enough and bold enough, not only to compete with, but also, to compliment the already bold styling of the face. To be clear, I say competebecause when you look at the dial, it is difficult to choose whether the colors or the crystals are the centerpiece. Yet, interestingly, both still work together to produce a gallant face.The leather strap employ s a simplistic smooth design, which is a refreshing move away from the crocodile skin textures, snake skin textures, and other textured leather designs. Also, because it is completely smooth, it also has a sheen to it. However, it is not a plastic-like sheen, seeing as the strap looks and feels to be constructed from quality leather, Gentleman, be warned that the strap is wide and may be different to what you are accustomed to. However, the large, bold strap compliments the large, bold dial very well.I prefer to wear this watch with black and rich, brighter blues.Update: After owning it for a little over a month, it has not lost any time.
