I wanted specific features and not others, this has exactly those that I wanted with no additional unnecessary ones to get in the way of functional use. The band is quite comfortable yet very well made and sturdy. Some said they thought the "pink" to be to feminine; on the contrary, while I am a female, I am a tomboy and don't much go in for "pink". The color seems to have been very well thought out, as it is more of a light mauve (actually matches something called "opera mauve"; look it up in Wikipedia), with the contrasting color on the band being a darker rusty mauve; along with the black stripes, this matches well and / or is compatible with darn near any other color(s). It goes well with black, brown or gray, as well as pink, red, blue, purple - I'd think even yellow, green or orange, although those aren't usually my colors. It works great, keeps great time, love the indiglo and that it has 3 separate alarms that can be set to go either daily, weekdays or weekends. That it is water resistant to 100 meters is simply an added bonus, but happy not to have to worry about getting it wet. Love It!Addition - Here we are a year later . . . still going strong and wear it every day, all day. Still love it!Another addition - year and a half later . . . still going and still love it - so much so that I got another one in a different color, to swap back and forth (another color, black / blue / gray, that they also took great pains to come up with, such that it goes with many other colors).
