Advantages: Great Quality, Fancy Design, Features

Disadvantages: Expensive

I got this watch for my last birthday and it has lasted me since. I had an accident where I hit it on a door and a screw from the face came out, but it was still under guarantee so was sent to Diesel and within 3 weeks, I had my watch back with a new face. It's a really nice watch as it looks great and is from a good designer.

You can buy the watch in either white or black. The white one looks extremely nice and flashy - perhaps too flashy for ordinary wear, and I decided not go get it as it would get dirty very easily too. I bought the black one, which is still really nice. The strap is made from plastic with a leather appearance on the outside. It's very strong and hasn't worn away at all. It attaches to the watch face very securely too.

The strap has a couple og shields on it with the letter 'D' on it to tell you it's Diesel, On the lower larger strap, there is also a Diesel logo just below the shield. The shield is metal and silver and black in appearance, which gives the watch such a fancy look, which can easily be seen when you're wearing it.

The strap fits together very well and the watch did not need adjusting. It can fit all wrists from small ones to quite large ones, but it's not built for the largest wrists. The face of the watch is very special too. Where the strap leads up to the face is a shiny black metal, which goes round the sides where the buttons are too. It adds to the fancy look and quality build of the watch. The face itself has silver surrounding, which I imagine is made from steel. It has words engraved onto the sides to explain the buttons on each side.

The display has a slight yellow background with black digits. It's very easy to view and you can change the layout in the settings. I have mine so it displays the date, day of week, time and seconds as well as whether it's am or pm. The great thing about the watch is that you can program two times and then just press one button to flick between them - great if you regularly travel between two time zones.

The buttons on the side are silver in colour, which contrast nicely with the black. The whole watch is silver and black, which is very modern and flashy. It has many other features such as a stopwatch, alarms and settings. It also has a unique thing called 'Tips' where you can press the Tip button and you will get one. Pressing it now, it just said across the screen 'Your time is my pleasure.' There are loads of other tips, some of which appear to be quite handy, such as a reminder! You can also use the light, which works very well as well as programming the watch to beep on the hour.

It's water resistant too so can be taken swimming in the sea or a pool, but try not to get it scratched as the face can be damaged quite easily. It can withhold up to 5 bars of pressure under water and a depth of 165 feet. It's a supreme quality watch and looks the part too. On the back of the face is the Diesel logo and it comes in a fancy white box round a soft cushion. It's not the cheapest watch at over £100, but it is a great quality watch and looks fantastic.
