I was given this watch as a gift and it was absolutely perfect in all aspects, from the "tone" of the gold, face, size, etc. To elaborate on the tone of the gold, it's not gaudy in the slightest. I'm more partial to platinum and silver tone accessories, but since I bought a pair of Oliver Peoples sunglasses that have a touch of gold accents on them, I knew this watch and my sunglasses would be a match made in heaven. I was right.
The description for the MK 5160 states that it's a mid-sized watch. I beg to differ...but then again, I'm a petite person and have TINY wrists so I consider this watch to be on the "larger" side. It's NOT dainty by any means and honestly, I would NOT want it to be any larger, especially due to the gold tone. There are boundaries when it comes to gold and it's very easy for it to look cheesy, so it's best to keep other accessories to a minimum and allow this watch to speak for itself. By the way, just took a ruler to my watch because I was curious myself, and the face is 1.49 inches across, so your idea and my perception of size may differ greatly. :o)
The date just (using Rolex verbiage) for this watch became more convenient than I had anticipated. I'm notorious for never knowing the date so the date just feature actually saves me time from digging through my purse, looking for my cell phone, and you know the rest!
I've had this watch for 3 days and have worn it once (to work) and the gold tone is already wearing off of multiple links of the bracelet. Granted, I know it's just a stainless steel piece covered in fake gold, but for almost $200 I'd expect it to at least look nice and get me through a season or two. But now many of the links are scratched and even worn through to the steel, so it looks like it's got grey spots all over it. And I am NOT rough on my watches - I can only assume it's worn off where it's made contact with my desk while I type. It looks absolutely terrible and I'm too embarrassed to even wear it for a second time. I'm returning it. It is a cute watch, but at this price point, the extremely poor quality is inexcusable.
This watch is amazing! It's kind of big and chunky so be warned but that's what I love about it!!!!
