CONCLUSION
I've been using the Diesel DZ7164 LED watch for over a month now and i have to say that i really like the way it feels when i wear it, largely thanks to the silicone band. Of course i don't really like the fact that the silicone band attracts dust nor do i like the lack of a crystal top (can get scratched easier than the other watches i own) but overall it's a very nice watch for daily use. Certainly if you are looking to get an electronic watch with a plethora of usages like the G-Shock by Casio then the Diesel DZ7164 is certainly not made for you since it hardly does anything more than just display the current time and also a follow-up message chosen by you.
As we speak the Diesel DZ7163 LED watch retails for around USD120 inside the USA while in the EU you can find it for around 100Euros. Overall the price could be lower and you will probably find many noname LED watches for much less but let's not forget that this is Diesel we're talking about and not some random company so naturally you get what you pay for. Granted the DZ7164 may not be what i would call a complete watch since it only shows the time but considering that i have a large number of watches made by Tag Heuer, Condor, Accurist, Timex, Sector and other manufacturers that come with a variety of features and in the end i only use them to check the time i don't think most people need extra functionality for a watch. Bottom line i intend to use the DZ7164 for as long as possible, i think that alone says it all.
