While visually it is very beautiful and looks very high quality, once you hold it in your hands, it impresses you with how lightweight it is. You almost don't realize that you're holding something. So it definitely doesn't give the feeling of being sturdy but rather "fake". I have an older watch from the same series, at about the same price, and it has nothing to do with this one. Obviously, the frame has been replaced from steel to aluminum and that's why it gives the feeling of not being sturdy, without knowing if this makes it less durable. Nevertheless, I would still buy it because of its appearance and the fact that any Swatch watch I have has lasted for years.
