I wanted to write a quick review about this watch since it does not appear that anyone has rated it yet. I personally own a lot of expensive watches. This is not to brag, but rather to state that I am aware of a "poser" watch, that looks like an expensive watch, but does not deliver. This Nautica watch is the real deal. I will not every again purchase a Chronograph Watch, as I personally don't know anyone who actually uses stopwatch feature, but buy the watch for the Chronograph "look". This Nautica was exactly what I was looking for in features.1. The Crown can be pulled out to stop the watch, and conserve battery life when not being worn.2. The watch looks like a Chronograph but isn't, the dials give you the Day of the week, todays date, and 24hr time. (all useful information that you I will use on a daily basis instead of having a stopwatch feature)3. The Aluminum casing is light and brushed, and can be buffed out to look like new if you were to scratch it.4. The Enamel Bezel is the bomb. It will not chip or flake and looks like it will deflect normal every day bumps and scrapes.5. It is Water resistant to 330 and the watch band is made of durable rubber (I wanted a watch to wear at the waterparks and something to wear while washing the car)6. And lastly; it truly is a damn gook looking (and extremely comfortable) watch to wear. It has the curve strap that allows it to contour to your wrist and not move around.Admittedly there are a lot of watches to chose from, but everyone who has commented on this watch knew the Nautica brand name. And as previously mentioned, because this is not a Chronograph, the large second hand moves so you can use it to measure time, instead of having to use one of the small dials on a Chronograph which shows the seconds, (since the large sweep hand on those watches is reserved for the stopwatch feature only) I have had this Nautica watch for over two weeks, and it has not gained or lost any time, and as a final note, I like the way that Nautica secured the back of the watch, It uses 4 tiny screws to secure the back on, and a $5 set of Jewelers screwdrivers can be bought here on Amazon; so that it will be a breeze to change the battery when the time comes. Overall I really can offer any negative feedback other then my next door neighbors daughter said that the three dials on the watch face look like Mickey Mouse.
