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!

What strap is that? I had one of these I paid $90 for it before upgrading. It served its purpose and kick started my watch interest. I ended up selling, upgrading, then started spending thousands on Tudors and rolexes. These are great entry level watches and/or perfect gift watches to get younger folks into watches.

It's a CNS single pass. In this case I think just a simple strap swap makes a world of difference. Not quite to the level of an Explorer on a NATO but this is the first watch I've had where a strap completely changed the way I looked at the watch.
