what a piece of crap. looks cool but very low quality. crown flew off and broke after a week of ownership. It curiously does not even have a country of origin on it. definitly not Lexus quality there. now have to send away to have it fixed.

Is that the one I've seen floating around on ebay?

yes, bought at dealer. besides F logo, has no other markings what-so-ever. I am sending back to the company who's information was included in box. (not lexus) I think design and shape is awesome, and band is unique. Screw down crown would be ideal.

I am a bit of a watch fanatic and the design alone was a big let down for me. I do not own one, but not exactly the most thrilling looking piece I've ever seen.

Get your money back, that thing seems like total crap.

I think merchandicing is an important part of building brand awareness and identity,but poor qulity tends to betray that purpose.Also,I think using ready made products of the "insert brand name here" variety is unwise in the case of a premium product such as Lexus.

I couldn't agree more....

They have the Neiman Marcus IS-F....

Instead of making a generic watch with the "F' logo....would be cool to see a "Tag Heuer" limited, "F" edition watch. I was looking to get a Tag, anyways...just a thought.

FujiFast,

Absolutely! I just picked up a Tag-Heuer Aquamariner Alarm model this Sunday and I was thinking how amazing this already beautiful watch would look in an IS-F version. Tag definitely knows how to make a watch--solid, heavy, but not overbearing, and beautiful, not to mention waterproof.

I hope Lexus will reconsider what piece of caca that watch out currently is and release a piece befitting this car's quality and prowess.

Enjoy your IS-F!!!
