Is the chronograph functional?

Yes. It is a quartz chronograph, so the subdials work as a stopwatch rather than being decorative.

No. It is rated 5 ATM (50 m), which covers splashes and brief handwashing but not swimming or showering.

Will the spikes damage my clothes?

They can snag knitwear and shirt cuffs. Wear it with sleeves that clear the bezel or accept some snagging.

It is a gold-tone finish on stainless steel, not solid gold. It holds up with care but can wear at edges over years of daily use.

The cushion case and bracelet are chunky. Try it on if you can, or check the case dimensions before buying.

A quartz movement with a battery. A jeweler can replace the battery when it runs down.
