Gorgeous color. Beautiful movement! The only complaint is the neck band is scratchy, but that is easily fixed. Buy your own sticks, I got dowels at the craft store

I love this watch. The blue is very vivid and alluring. I have received many compliments on this watch. It is very light and the band is the most comfortable I have ever worn.

Why I only gave 3 stars is that the band to face connector bent very easily. The watch is still fine, but the strap is a bit wiggly now.

I love this! My only problem is the neck being a bit tight if you wear a backpack over it. That's more of a user problem though.

The time piece is comfortable and good looking. Unfortunately the hands do not glow at night, but the light makes everything visible. The only problem keeping it from getting 5 stars in the band. The part that slides over the excess part of the band keeps slipping off causing the band to stick out. Other than that great watch!

I really love the way this looks on my wrist and how it compliments many outfits, from casual to dressy- however; the stones do somethings rub my wrist the wrong way and irritate it over an extended wear.  Definitely worth the price and would be a great piece to own or give as a gift!

Purchased one month ago. Very precise movement, long reserve, mid-way between sport and classic watch with gorgeous style.  This movement is a base ETA Valjoux 7750 modified by Soprod to add a power reserve indicator at 3 o'clock. Like 7750s, this movement winds cloclwise at 800 turns per day. Zeno is based in Switzerland and its movement (ETA/Zeno/Soprod) is also swiss, which makes this watch entirely swiss.  Luminescence is incredibly bright, on hands as well as all numerals, something I have not seen on other, more expensive high end watches.  Strap, however, is not outstanding so consider replacing with higher grade leather. The watch looks particularly nice on a black rally/racing leather strap.

This gorgeous watch is the perfect addition to my collection! My one complaint is that it does not function! I set the time but it doesn't tick; this is super irritating. I'm not sure why I received a defective watch, and will return it if I'm not able to get the issue resolved through a local jeweler. I would have given 5 stars.

I got this watch a few weeks ago and was very pleasantly surprised by the overall quality.  The movement has been keeping time within +6 seconds a day, which is accurate enough to be certified as a chronometer (it hasn't been independently certified, but that is within the required tolerance).  The movement itself is a pretty standard ETA 2824-2/SW-300 that has been modified by Frederique Constant.

The dial is a very nice and subtle silver color that doesn't really come out very well in the pictures.  I was very happy with the dial color when I first received the watch.

My only issue with the watch is that the strap doesn't really feel like it is up to par with the rest of the watch.  Considering that it is relatively simple to change a strap, I would say that this is a minor inconvenience.

Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and will be purchasing and recommending Frederique Constant watches for many years to come.

I love this dresser. Its so beautiful and a great price for such a quality, heavy piece. Assembly was very easy. My husband and I put it together at my eight month mark. The hardest part of it was hauling my big ole pregnant body up and down during assembly! The only reason that I deducted one star is because the final piece, a fascia piece that runs along the top length of the dresser was missing a notch and we were unable to install in. There should have been a notch cut in on the left and right side so that the piece fits flush. It doesnt alter the integrity of the dresser but it would be nice to have it on for aesthetics.

This is a gorgeous watch!  The love the turquoise face but the crystals are more green and that is a little disappointing.

This watch is gorgeous! It's high quality with a soft leather band that looks amazing with the navy face. My only complaint is that it was sent running, which wastes the battery. Other than that, I am in love with this watch.

Looks good, functions well, however the movement is a bit noisy.

I had considered buying this watch for months and months before actually taking the plunge and I love it! I looked around at many other makes but kept coming back to La Mer. I read the previous review of how the crown was quite sharp and would cause sharp pains on the wrist; however, I haven't experienced any of that. Every now and again the watch will slip (I wear it a little loose) and make a small indentation but nothing that hurts and this rarely happens anyway. I have had nothing but compliments and I adore the simple yet unique look. It was delivered very quickly, too.

I was fortunate enough to receive the watch in exchange for an honest review.

In short, I love it!  Note that the face IS indeed huge.  The band is also fairly large and wide; quite frankly, this watch will work best for larger males (I am very tall and could stand to lose a few pounds, and even I feel like the watch makes my wrists look small!).

The color is a light slate grey; just gorgeous.  So far the face seems to be a good quality crystal that is scratch resistant; will update the review if I get any fine scratches, but none so far.

The controls are on the left side.  This is my first watch with this configuration; I wear the watch on my left wrist and find the controls much easier to operate using my thumb.

In summary, this is a large, fairly heavy watch that looks and feels expensive.  I collect lower priced watches (up to about $400 range), and this one is probably the nicest one in my collection.  Highly recommended!

This is a beautiful watch! Not as elegant as other Burei watches, but still really nice.

The wristband for this is made of a tightly woven nylon and presents the colors of France in blue, white, and red.  However, just because it is the colors of France doesn't mean that it has to be seen as patriotic.  The wristband is not adjustable to make it any longer. This is the one downfall that I see to this watch.  My wrist is an average 7-7.5" round.  In order for this to fit me comfortably, I have to have this secured on the last hole and that only gives me a slight wiggle room for the watch to move around just a little.  This is not for someone who has big wrists.  It is more petite than anything else.

While I like the style of the wristband, I find it odd that it continues under the face of the watch.  If it gets wet, the wristband doesn't dry all too quickly which makes it a little uncomfortable on my wrist.  Now, it is not meant to be plunged in water, but it is water resistant, so washing my hands, I don't have to take this off.  Although with the feel of the wet wristband all around my wrist, I am more likely to take it off.

The face of the watch is beautiful.  It has one crystal on the 12, 3, 6, and 9 hands and also features a calendar function.  In order to get the date on the calendar correct, you have to keep turning the knob on the side of the watch, clockwise until you reach the correct day.  This takes a while.  I am just thankful that when I set the date, it was early in the month and not in the middle.  It would have been nice if the knob could push in a little further or pull out a little further to set it correctly  instead of having to do the full 24 hours a day to reach the appropriate date.

All in all, this watch is really nice and makes a great gift for almost any woman.  With the exception of the couple downfalls, I would still recommend this watch to someone who is looking for something slightly different.

I received this watch at a discounted price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

I just received my band today and so far I love it! I'm a bit nervous about the design peeling off though, as many reviewers have stated. My favorite thing about it though is the size. As a woman with small wrists, this fits me perfectly! I only wish they had more bands to choose from!

I love this watch, the heft, the size.  It's satisfying to have a large mechanically operated machine of such beauty on your wrist. Been looking around for a mechanical skeletonized watch, and this was the one near my price range that was the most aesthetically pleasing to me. I liked the packaging and the presentation of the watch, but the bands included are a little too gaudy for me. I never use any but the black. Note: the bands have a metallic brushed highlight over the leather, I don't really like it, so will end up buying my own alternate bands.
