I absolutely love this watch! The leather is so soft and pliable! As usual, Zappos sent the watch overnight and when I opened it, it was already set to the proper time and running! My wrists are smallish, and the multiple holes in the band allow for adjustability and it fits me perfectly! I was concerned having leather next to my wrist, under the watch itself, would be irritating or annoying, but after a few days wear, I do not even notice I have the watch on. I wanted a watch that I could read without my "cheater" reading glasses on, and the numbers and marks on this watch are indeed easy to see. This watch is such a winner, as soon as I can afford it, I am ordering another one in a different color.
