BOSS Allure Men's Quartz Chronograph Stainless Steel Watch - Water Resistant

The media could not be loaded. I have never owned a watch this dazzling in features and appearance before. It looks so good and the color of the band matches with the bezel of the watch. The leather is high quality and the watch is simply beautiful. It’s such a beauty.

As soon as I took this watch out of its box (and the packaging is very nice, including a little pillow the band is hugging since it doesn't have a wrist to go around yet) I was impressed by how solid/sturdy/hefty it feels! The band is heavy stainless steel and I've got exceptionally large wrists but it still closes around me without being uncomfortable. (I don't have my wrist measurement handy, but I always have to get large things for my wrists/hands. This band presses in on my skin the tiniest bit so that it doesn't slide around as I move, but I don't find it uncomfortable for long-term wear. I wouldn't keep it on for exercise, but it's fine for a day at the office, dinner, a night out, etc.) The watch itself is very heavy, it feels SOLID.It comes with absolutely minimal paper manual material, you have to look up the instructions online. And let me tell you, they weren't easy to make heads or tails of, because they used too few words to try to convey too much. So here's what I learned, and I hope it makes your day easier:-As is standard, pull out on the stem to set the time, and then press it back in to allow the watch to run / keep time. The second hand pauses when you pull out to set the time, so you can get down-to-the-second accuracy if you so desire.-At the same time that you're setting the time, the right "eye" (the sub-face nearest the 3-o'clock position) has a single hand that goes around once per day, it's a 24-hr clock and at a glance can tell you if you're in AM or PM. For every two full sweeps that the hour hand on the main watch makes, the 24-hr hand will go around only once. So when you're setting the time, you might need to go around an extra 12 hrs to make the 24-hr hand point toward the right part of the day.There's also a stopwatch built in, and it goes with the two buttons and two other hands on the watch I haven't talked about yet:-At the 6-o'clock position on the watch face there's a stopwatch that ticks off the seconds.-At the 9-o'clock position on the watch face is ANOTHER part of the stopwatch, its single hand sweeps one circle in an hour, just like the minutes hand on a normal watch.-You start/stop the stopwatch by pressing the upper button (above the stem, outside the 2-o'clock position).-You reset the stopwatch (when it is stopped) by pressing the lower button (below the stem, outside the 4-o'clock position). When you do this, it 'unwinds' - if you timed 3 minutes 15 seconds, it'll very quickly sweep out 3 1/4 full circles counterclockwise while the stopwatch's minutes face rolls back to pointing straight up-If you press the lower button while the stopwatch is running, you pause the second hand from ticking off the seconds, but the watch continues counting the seconds internally. When you press this lower button a second time the stopwatch hand un-freeze and rapidly catch up to the actual count.-If you let the stopwatch run for a full hour, when the hour is up it automatically stops.So there you go. SUPER lovely watch, highly giftable, looks and feels high-end and impressive. I hope you, or the person you're getting it for, enjoys it as much as I am!

I really like this fashionable watch for business settings. It truly does make you feel a bit more powerful while wearing it. At 44mm, it’s larger than most smart watches. Bold all stainless-steel design, easily noticeable if that’s what you are going for. The watch is 5-bar waterproof which means it’s splash-proof and can be worn while swimming in shallow water although the closest this watch will get to water is hand-washing in the restroom. I don’t think I would feel comfortable swimming with it.The watch being a chronograph also includes a stopwatch. You can use it with the two smaller watch faces on the left and bottom of the watch. You can start/stop it with the top button and reset it with the bottom one.The only downside I can think of is it may not be for everyone. You need some confidence, a big wrist and be ok with the weight. Even though I thought my wrist was big I still needed to take out four-links to get it to fit properly.

I usually don't get a designer watch as you're paying more for the label than the watch. But i liked the look and size. This definitely wears as a 44mm case on my 8 inch wrist. The dial and bezel are nicely done with sharp contrasting silver on black and everything is very legible. The lume is applied to the hour markers and the hour and minute hands. But it's not on the second hand or complications. The crown and buttons operate properly. The leather band is very thick yet supple and soft and wears comfortably and matches well with the inlay trims on the hands and between the dial and bezel. I was able to use the second to last hole.I didn't see an instruction manual, so here's how to operate the stopwatch. The top button starts/stops and the bottom resets the stopwatch, which is the middle complication with the date function within it. The bottom button will fast reset to the 12 o'clock position.The left complication will track the minutes elapsed and the right is the 24 hour complication. I call it a stopwatch because that's all it's good for. This is not a true tachymeter, which would have the large second hand to track elapsed time for the distance traveled, which would then translate into your speed. This might still be considered a tachymeter if you could rotate the bezel to the second hand once you start your run, but the bezel if fixed in place. So, the bezel is ornamental and not very functional, unless you wait until the second hand reaches 12 o'clock - not too useful in my opinion.One other thing you can do is calibrate the stopwatch hand - pull the crown to the first position and press the top button to tick it counterclockwise and bottom button to go clockwise.So, it's a very handsome watch but be aware of its limitations and understand that this isn't a true tachymeter. Maybe that's why they spelled it 'tachymetre'? I deduct one star for that. It's also a very giftable watch as it comes very well packaged.
