Muted tones with the brushed silver case give it a discreet and subtle presence. It's much better in the metal than photos. I'm surprised that everything is so well executed and IMO the leather strap is so coherent with the rest of the watch and of high quality. The watch may not appeal to everyone and most would prefer a solid case back, including me. However, I see the purpose of the sapphire glass in the back as it would be less reactive with skin, especially in the summer. All in all, I do not think you will be disappointed after seeing it.
