Seems to be a very nice item; we had seen this watch at a department store and my husband really liked it, so I was excited to find it for half the price. It is very stylish, just a touch too big but hubby plans to have a link taken out. So far, it has charged in direct sunlight x 3 days as instructed and so far, it seems to be working just fine; keeping time and date; hope it continues to do so.
