Wake it up with a few shakes of your wrist and it automatically resets itself to the correct time even if it has been asleep for 4 years.

Rating : - Outstanding I did my research before I bought the watch and this was on top of my list compared with watches 2-3 times its list price. From looks and quality to function I'm very happy with my purchase. I agree, it does not shows the day of the week, does not has an alarm, etc, but neither do many watches way more expensive and not as good looking as this one. And yes, it's all about looks and quality, if it was just for function a $5 plastic watch would have done it.
