This is my second of three Kenneth Coles, this one being in the Reaction series. This was a pickup at a local TJMaxx store, a definite spur of the moment purchase. I really like the pseudo-retro styling of this one. The crystal has a huge dome which is very thick. You can tell it's a mineral crystal, but it definitely has some heft to it. One negative about the crystal is that the extreme domed curvature makes it very prone to scratching right in the middle. The face is almost black but not quite, almost a dark charcoal.
The leather strap is very comfortable, although the red stitching doesn't "go" with everything. I find I don't really notice it. This watch goes well with a pair of jeans or a dress shirt and slacks. Can't beat the silver and black combo for versatility. This one is still in the rotation, albeit on a limited basis.
The movement is a simple Japanese three hand quartz with a date window. It has a snap in caseback and is technically water resistant. I don't think I've ever tested its limits, though. I think that may be asking for trouble. All in all, a nice versatile watch. It's seen a good portion of wrist time.
