Phantom

This watch was good looking and seemed to be made well. However, it came time to replace the batteries for both, my watch and my wife's. I have removed the case backing on so many watches--different types. These watches have a very stubborn back case. I took them both to a professional watch repair shop (one I trust very much), and they told me that the case backing has been glued shut. They used a heating tool, and all the proper equipment used to remove watch cases, to no avail. They suggested I contact the maker and let them know of this major flaw. Needless to say, one of the watches has been scuffed up so much that I no longer care about it--I JUST WANTED TO REMOVE THE BACK. Nope. It wouldn't. Not even if I smash it. Just thought anyone interested in this (otherwise attractive) watch SHOULD KNOW.

Tld;r version: It's good until you need to change the battery. Not even a professional can do it.
