Absolutely! I can speak to patina and smells now and I'll update in a few months.

Patina has already started, I've worn it every day since picking it up, so only about 4 days or so, and it's starting to take on that deep rich look.

It does smell like bronze but you have to get your nose close to it to smell it.

I did experience some wrist discoloration from the bracelet when I wore it outside on a very hot and humid day, all day, with sunscreen. It seriously wasn't bad, and it washed right off of both the watch and my wrist, without the need to scrub. I've jogged with it also, sweat did not seem to have the same effect and have had no discoloration without the addition of something like sunblock.
