Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I can only echo the things that have been already written. This watch is small compared to my inexpensive analog Casio, and it is very light as well. I did notice that the minute hand does not quite line up exactly with the tick marks on part of the dial, so if you have an obsessive compulsive disorder I would not recommend this watch. It is very easy to read; the bold numerals do away with the few seconds it takes to figure out the relationship of the hands to the dial, like a Movado or Nixon.
The watch has a very simple and clean look that a utilitarian would appreciate. The silver hands on the white dial can be hard to read in the blue light of the early morning. The lume is a nice blue/green that I can easily see on the hour and minute hands. The arrow on the second hand is illuminated as well, along with hour indicators. The mineral glass is thin compared to some of the more robust watch crystals out there, which left me with the first impression that it was plastic. The case and band are much shinier than the photo shows, to note.
The day-of-the-week display has an alternate reading in Spanish if the wearer so chooses. I had to remove two links from the watch band for my 7.5 inch wrists. The side of the band makes a pretty clean 90 degree angle that can cause some discomfort.
I think the SS Railroad is a fantastic watch for the purpose of telling time.
-------------- Update -----------------
I've owned the watch for a year now and it has been through a full home remodel with all the demolition, swimming in lakes and rivers to a maximum depth of only 15 feet, and operating equipment that vibrates excessively (professional string-trimmer and sledgehammer). I even smacked the crystal face on the side of a cement slab with no breakage or scratches; which probably has more to do with luck than durability.
The steel band has acquired numerous scratches on the sides and bottom.
As for the comfort, the band does not bother me as I once thought it would. I've had to roll the days forward in months that have less than 31 days, and the watch was within the actual minute of my computer's clock before resetting it for day light-savings time.
The bottom line is that I would buy this watch again hands down if it broke today.
