Beautiful, functional, and an amazing value For Eco watch

This watch is even more attractive in person than it is in any of the pictures I've found. The design is clean and serious, the accuracy is terrific, and the overall look is that of a far more expensive watch.

My only negatives on this piece are that the band is not worthy of the watch and I would prefer it if the crystal were below the bezel - but that's definitely not a deal breaker. As for the band, I've replaced it with a grey 4-ring Maratac band (20mm) band that creates a rugged but classy look. If you go this route, know that the pins on the watch are relatively close to the body of the watch. This makes for a tight squeeze when you install the new strap -- but it is doable.

I have had this watch already for four years and I am still happy with it. A short list of what I like and what could be better in that watch:

I like:
- The drive with no batteries and worries. Sounds almost too good to believe.
- Big bright numbers bot at day and night;
- Cool look, both the watch and strap. IMHO;
- Water tightness, I have not tested it in deeper water than 16 meters;
- Stap is very durable, looks still quite much like new. It seems to be matter of luck, but for me the distance between holes fixed with rivets fit well.

Could be better:
- I have a piece that ticks its second-hand slightly (ca 1/5 of sec) behind their right places. Nothing catastrophic, but not so nice I would have expected;
- It is some 5-10 sec too fast for every "some" months. It is just cosmetic problem and probably it is just what you get for that money;
- Date window is very small and needs close inspection, but as I usually check the date from calender and may anyway have forgotten to scroll it a day forward every second month, it does not bother me so much either;
- The hands are not so well visible at night as numbers, when it comes close to morning I already have to look very closely which is which hand and what the time is. But it is not hopeless :)
- The watch is a bit heavy when wearing strap comfortably loose during mountain-biking jumpy roads, as it starts knocking on my wrist bones.
- There are some scratches at the crystal, but I suppose if it had been sapphire glass, I couldn't have afforded it.
