Very cool/beautiful watch-just anticipate band issues later
Cool watch. Just received it in the mail (purchased late afternoon yesterday) and it came before I anticipated which is great. The watch itself is basically exactly what I expected, very cool watch. It has a nice weight to it, buttons and mechanics work fine and I love the awesome black stainless steel look! The blue on the face is a tad darker than pictured but that's a good thing (for me anyway). It still shines brighter blue in direct sunlight. Sits nice on my wrist. The only thing I didn't expect is the band clasp-it's fine (so far) but it IS an adjustable type band and was difficult to move and size. Says on instructions you need a "tool" but never specifies what tool and didn't come with any. The diagram is vague at best so after using a paper lip and poking it I finally got the clasp to move-however, not sure if I got it back secured properly or not. I anticipate trouble from this band over time. Otherwise, beautiful watch.

Steer clear!
When this watch arrived it was beautiful, a great weight, and looked awesome. However, after about a month of using it the clasp broke and the face color turned from the lovely blue to a purple color. This, of course, happened right after the return period had expired. I would warn you to steer clear of this watch as it looks like it will be a great find but quickly becomes a disappointment.

I would buy it again
This is my third Akribos XXIV watch. The first one was a "skeletonized" watch that I dropped on a tile floor, which knocked something loose, so it no longer works. The second is about 18 months old and is the stainless steel equivalent to this one. It still works fine and I wear it when I am wearing silver tie chains or clips. This one is also works great and is comfortable to wear. I wear this one on a daily basis and love it.

Nice watch at a great price!
After not wearing a watch for almost 10 years, I got the itch to find another good watch to wear. Started looking at the Slow watch (single hand, 24 hr) but $300 was a little steep. The Akribos came up on sale and I figured I'd give it a chance. The option of free returns was also swaying my decision. So far I really like this watch. The band was easy to adjust (just slide the receiver side of the clasp, it's spring loaded and snaps into place) The weight and size is perfect. That band is comfortable and the watch itself is stylish. We'll see how it holds up, but so far I'm very impressed.

Excellent watch for the price
Excellent watch for the price. The instructions are somewhat limited, but it is not a difficult watch to figure out. My only complaint would be that the watch does not come with an effective "tool" (which is needed, based on the instructions) to adjust the strap. That said a butter knife somewhat worked for me. All in all, if you can pick this watch up for relatively cheap, its not a bad buy. Looks classy, feels quality, and is light on the wrist. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase.

Expensive looks for inexpensive price
I own many watches including Invictas, Movado, etcI bought this inexpensive watch on a lark.Turns out to be accurate, and good looking. I replaced the mesh band with a new leather band. It's so light weight and thin that I can't even tell it's on.Great buy and great looking.

Battery was dead on arrival! However, after having it replaced I like the watch.

Excellent watch!
This is one excellent watch! I've never owned a mesh-band watch before, so I was a bit hesitant to order one (not knowing how it would fit on my wrist as I have somewhat small wrists). But I'm glad I did! The band is totally adjustable (just had to watch a video online of how to as the instructions that came with the watch didn't mention anything about the band) and sits comfortably on my wrist. The watch isn't too heavy or too large and looks really classy. It features a blue face (which looks a bit darker than the photos online) + 3 subdials + a date window. It has kept time so far really well too!The only, minor, issue with this watch is that occasionally if I move my hand backwards, it touches the upper chronograph button, which then stops the seconds-hand from moving. It doesn't happen all the time, but every once in a while (just press the button again, and it should start moving again).Regardless, I give the watch 5/5 - still awesome!

buena presencia y muy mala mecanica y mal ajuste del cierre de seguridad.
Como es normal para un reloj que tiene tantas funciones le falta lo más elemental que funcione bien 24 horas.Me gusto el diseño deportivo, pero no su acabado en el seguro de cierre que tiene una falta de ajuste.Como es de esperar si no me gusta a mí, no lo voy a recomendar a nadie.

Very elegant watch with only a couple of downsides....please read below
Wow! This is an incredibly elegant watch. It is my first time purchasing a watch off of amazon so I was a little skeptical if this would be any good or not in terms of quality and appearance. I am pleasantly surprised. This watch imo, is very high quality. Everything feels very smooth and has a nice tactile touch for the crown and side buttons. I can vouch for the pictures on here giving an accurate representation of this watch in person. It's very sleek. However, despite the good things about this watch, there are some downsides. First of all, the band is a bit difficult to adjust and there is no instruction paper that comes with the watch to tell you how to adjust it. Google it! There are many videos online showing you how to adjust the band. Second. In terms of putting the watch on your wrist and taking it off...it's a little bit of a pain. But there's a small trick. Under the metal tab bearing the watch label "akribos" there is a tiny sideways hook that hooks onto the other side of the metal band. DO NOT force the tab/metal band apart (trying to get it off of your wrist) as it can bend. (I figured it out the hard way). It takes a bit of practice to get it unhooked but you will figure it out. All in all, a fantastic and beautiful watch! I am very satisfied with my purchase. Especially for $100. Oh yeah, and one other thing, the box it came in is absolutely gorgeous....but I won't spoil the presentation for you, you'll have to find out when you purchase it!

AWESOME
It's a really nice watch. Build is solid and most importantly doesn't feel heavy on the wrist. The adjustable band was a bit of a mess for me but figured it out by myself. The blue-black combination is very catchy.Overall, very very satisfied with the product. Recommended.

It looks better in person
I bought this as a gift and was suprised. It looks better in person. Decent quality. It was a little heavy, but it is a bigger watch after all. I would buy another akribos because of their unique designs. The MSRP for their watches are BS. It is fairly priced compared to the competition.
