Basically the title says it all. I picked up one of these brand new off eBay for $120 and I think this is a fantastic tool watch. I ended up with one for work as I'm in healthcare and didn't want to gunk up my nicer GADA watch. It's a great size for my slender wrist, easy to read and so far keeps great time! Yeah it's an eco drive, not automatic but I mean for a watch I just can slip on and head to work I can't think of a better model in ths price range. Definitely a firm recommendation from me for whatever that's worth.

Like some others I wasn't keen on the original strap but I picked up a few from CNS and I'm loving the single pass strap on it!

I've got one of these beauties around 2 years ago. I immediately switched to a black nylon fabric strap and I've worn the watch every day since. Like you say, it's very easy to read. But I agree with everyone complaining about the mineral crystal. I scratched mine in my first week using it, and it pains me every time I look down at my wrist. I'm now saving up for a Junghans Max Bill Mega Solar since they're now sold with a sapphire crystal. But I'd love to get other recommendations for flieger or minimalist solar watches with Arabic numerals that I could upgrade to.
