This watch is totally worth the buy. If you're looking for something that's cheap but looks nice, then you're guaranteed to love this. I do have to admit that the watch itself is very light and made of some type of aluminum shell, so if you drop it, it may break easily. The band is not real leather (imitation leather) but is surprisingly comfortable. Will be recommending this to others. The bracelet is nice too.Watches are something I am a fan of to the extent of collecting them. This collection covers higher end watches as well as lower priced variations. Basically I like a watch that looks neat regardless of the price. With this interesting watch from the Gianello brand I have found something that is neat, though a bit misleading in relation to the product page. I am giving this a rare two stars because it was drastically different from what the picture shows for a key reason. The picture shows a oily psychedelic style metal paint, with the clock face being outlined in green. The problem here is the outline of the radius of the clock face is well defined in the product picture, leading the buyer to believe it is green. This is seriously a misleading thing because it is not green but rather pink. That feature was the selling point for me. Yes pink, that's the dominant color that shows up when looking at the watch. There is a faint multicolored oily effect but it is drowned out with a dominant pink color. So its one thing to have zero green around the clock face, but a further disappointment in that green does not even show up, in the faint moments where the oily effect seems to show multi colors. And those fleeting moment where you can sort of detect the intended oily effect you have to be out in the sunlight to really tell. I usually like metal wristbands, with a favorite of mine from a leading brand, being something a wear all the time. While a metal mesh style band can seem like it would be a discomfort, it will work if designed correctly. While I did not feel like the metal band of this Gianello watch was low grade when wearing it, I did detect a problem when taking it off. The metal bends then leaves a crease. This may be indicative of serious future bending and a dent forming after repetitious use. That is not a good sign, as I am always bending the band of the one just mentioned that I wear all the time and there is zero crease marks. So that fact that a visible crease formed the first time I adjusted the band, is not a good sign. I am not very masculine in the sense of wearing just traditionally male colors. I will wear purple and even pink sunglasses but I have to say this watch look 100 percent like a women's watch. I will be totally honest when I say, this watch looks like something my sister would of purchased, as a teenager in the nineties at the mall or something. Being that it is titled a men's watch and not even unisex is misleading. I will say that this color I am talking about is just one of many to choose from. I am sure that the solid colors of the other watches are great, because there is not way of those colors being interpreted wrong, due to the non oily colored style. So I want to press the point that my main issue is with one of a selection of many, so if you deduct the color of the band and surrounding clock face, there is just the one problem with the wrist band.This brand seems fairly legit, with the packaging being nice and the included bracelet being neat, though not really my cup of tea. The operation of the watch is nice with the setting of the clock being easy. The supporting clasp seems a bit to large for the band and it kept falling back.To summarize, I feel this watch has potential but needs to go back to the drawing board. If you like an oily metal color that mainly looks pink then this design is for you. As for me I will pass on it and can't recommend it. I will however try this brand again because i have faith in them.
