This is a fantastic looking watch! Granted, the bracelet is thin stainless steel, not "heavy duty". But what do you expect at this price...thick, heavy links? Get real. At this price point, this is a beautiful watch!The band has a single fold, with button, clasp...again, not heavy duty but it does the job just fine.I like this watch so much, I'm ordering the silver one with black dial.Also, be aware that you will probably need to remove some of the links for the best fit. You can pay a jeweler to do it. Or, you can order a very inexpensive watch link remover. I ordered the SE JT6305A Watch Link Remover with 5 Pins, from Amazon, for $3.97 and yes, it worked just fine. You might also want to purchase an inexpensive watchmaker's hammer. I got mine at Harbor Freight for $4.49. You don't really need the hammer but it did come in handy...and I can use it for other purposes.In addition, when you need to replace the batteries, you can see that the stainless steel back is a "screw on" back. I searched YouTube on using a pair of needle nose pliers to remove the back, if you'd like to do it yourself. Or you can also purchase an inexpensive watch case opener. Or, you can pay a jeweler.Again, this is a really nice watch for the price. I have no regrets having ordered it, and like I said...I'm even ordering the silver and black one.
