I bought the watch with the intention of wearing it with "outdoor" clothing, such as combat boots. Stylistically, from this angle, I have nothing to complain about it. The watch has an interesting envelope color and a "nice" dial. "Nice" in quotation marks, because, of course, this is very subjective and, on top of that, it has to be read in the context of the outfit it is supposed to match - because is it nice if we compare it with, say, an Atlantic Worldmaster or a Seiko Presage (choosing reasonably priced examples)? Those who recognize only mechanical watches will certainly say no - and if we look at quality, elegance, or even versatility, they will certainly be right. But on the other hand, we shouldn't compare a <£700 "fashion" watch with a more than 4x more expensive one, because it will be as revealing as saying that an Audi Q5 is cooler than a Dacia Duster.The strap is very nice - I'm not an expert here, as most of the watches I've had so far have been on steel bracelets, but comparing with others in a similar price segment I've dealt with (Casio Waveceptor and Fossil automatic, both models bought about 10 years ago), I think it compares very favorably. Both visually and to the touch - it is more pleasant than the typical smooth leather strap. This one seems warmer, minimally resembling suede to the touch (not the best comparison, but I'm a total amateur in this regard). Comparing it to the 2 x more expensive Vostok Gaz-14 (a newer model, so according to the reviews it doesn't suffer from the strap quality problem that supposedly happened earlier with this company), I don't feel any particular difference in quality. It's different, but I don't get the impression that it's inferior - of course, this will still be verified by time, but perhaps it's due to the fact that at Timberland, as a company known primarily for producing sturdy shoes, the leather stands at an above-average level for the price. I don't have a comparison with higher-end watches than the aforementioned Vostok, but at the same time, as with the dial - such a comparison would not make special sense due to the price gap. The last thing I will mention when listing the advantages of the watch is something that made me hesitate - because my first impression was that it was a disadvantage - is the weight of the watch. Since most of my old watches are on a metal bracelet, I don't have much of a comparison, but when I first picked it up I was very surprised at how light this watch is - especially in relation to the size, as 46 mm is indeed a lot. I'm a rather sizable guy, but on my wrist the watch makes a really solid impression. Not to be caught up in rapture over this watch - there are also minor negatives. Although it's not the most serious complaint, I'll start with it to continue the thread I started - the weight of the watch. It is light, which may be nice, but actually my first thought was not - "oh what a nice lightweight watch", but - "what lightweight, is it plastic?". The description says that the material of the envelope is stainless steel, but its lightness does not give me the impression of a very solid and sturdy construction. This is certainly partly a matter of the fact that an automatic movement is much heavier than a quartz one, and the only direct comparison I had at the time of purchase was with the aforementioned similarly sized Fossil automatic, which seems to be 2-3 times heavier. However, even if that's the case, the watch, despite its outdoorsy appearance, doesn't seem to be very durable and resistant. That's not its purpose, and no one is saying it's a G-Shock, but it doesn't change the fact that it conflicts with its appearance. The picture suggests - you can take this watch anywhere. The contact with the watch seems to rather say - the model will then fit perfectly when you go in your militia / plaid shirt to work (at your desk) or for a beer with friends. The second thing, perhaps minor and to be circumvented, but nevertheless leaving a distaste is the instructions. It says - to set the day (of the week), pull out the crown "on the second click" and spin according to the hands of the clock, because the day changes between midnight and 5 am. She also says - to set the time, pull out the crown "on the second click" and turn according to the clock's hands. Maybe it's obvious that when I want to switch the day from Tuesday to Saturday, I have to make "several" turns to simply turn the watch by a few dozen hours. However, the way it was described suggested to me that I should find some "magic" / dedicated method of setting the days of the week, analogous to setting the days of the month, rather than spin for a minute, and set the day by rearranging the hours. Anyway - whether this way does not exist, or I did not discover it - minus for the manual, because instead of acting according to it, I had to combine. In conclusion - the watch looks very interesting, and in relation to the price - I think it is a successful purchase, provided that you do not expect from it the durability that the outdoor style may suggest. Supporters of mechanical watches and, above all, people who do not digest fashion watches will evaluate it negatively, but I think it meets everything that can be expected from such a watch. For a reasonable price we get an interesting-looking, timekeeping product. Of course, a Seiko at the same price will be better in terms of workmanship/interior, but you need to buy a watch consciously - knowing what your goal is. If you are interested in such a look, you will not find it in mechanical watches at this price. As for me - despite the minor flaws I mentioned, a positive rating. I would have subtracted maybe half a star for the only seemingly outdoorsy look and the manual, but since the ratings are only full, a 4 would not be deserved.
