This watch is simply brilliant!
I'm a 13 year old boy with rather skinny wrists, and I mean skinny all right, yet they fit just fine on the tightest hole on the strap, but for older or more muscular users this will be fine too, they should fit 90% of people just fine without any need for adjustments. So for any people wanting to gift this to their teenage relative, then don't worry about it being a men's watch. (this probably goes for quite a few other "men's" watches too)

Now onto the details, the strap itself is black leather on the outside and beige on the inside, if you don't like that don't let it put you off; you can't really see it anyway.

The watch face is partially numbered, a number for every two hours. (12, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) and with a point for all the others apart from where '3' would be as that is where the date & day counter is. (e.g. MON 27)

All the numbers and points are a chrome-like stainless steel, just like the rest of the watch itself, very shiny. The underside of the watch is brushed stainless steel, if gives a nice effect and looks smart, but once again you can't really see it whilst wearing it. It's a quartz movement (battery powered) and it keeps the time very well, and when adjusted correctly can be just as accurate as a computer or phone.

That's just about it, I rate this 5 out of 5 easily for only £63 it's an absolute steal, as it could be as good as a £150 watch.

NOTE: The cover of the watch (the glass-like bit that covers the face, sorry I can't remember what it's called)
Is actually thick acrylic, it's very strong and sturdy, but it can get scratched, not easy to scratch it though, just try to wear sleeves over the watch to reduce the risk, but I'd probably say this for any watch, not this one exclusively.

This is a nice, simple watch that's a step up from the most basic but more incongruous than something more expensive.

If you need a stylish watch that doesn't weigh down your wrist or distract too much (i.e. for business use) then you won't go far wrong.

Lightweight, well made and does exactly what you expect.

My husband loves it! Having quite a slender wrist it is a good size without swamping his wrist. Very clear display, smart but not OTT.

The swatch watch YGS737 is perfect for me because it is only a watch, not a lot of other things. Simple design, elegant, reliable, it shows time and date in just a glance, on a very readable background. Leather wristband nad black and metallic colour gives it a classic elegant feature, that is wearable everyday as well as in a more festive occasion.

From beginning to end, I was completely happy with my order from Watch Shop. I received my watch quickly and the watch I received was exactly what I wanted. A simple, beautifully designed Swatch with a supple leather band and a really great face. I would absolutely order from Watch Shop again.

I ordered the watch at a very competitive price. It was dispatched very quickly.This was purchased for a present and was very well received. An excellent quality watch that looks brilliant on my son's wrist. The dial is very clear and funky, a very modern watch. The strap is a real eye catcher.

The good:

design is simple and straightforward



The bad:

the chrome casing makes it appears too small for a men's watch once you wear it

This is a simple, yet striking watch. The large, shiny, stainless steel-rimmed face houses large, bold numbers, making it really easy to see the time. The date feature and minute-hand are a bonus. Bought this for my husband, who always used to ask what the date was! He also has a Skin Swatch, that's much thinner and lighter, this is more substantial. We both really like it.
