I guess I was good enough this year to get a BCD for Christmas!
You see the thing on the right side near the bottom of the pic, that's orange (or red)? It is round and sort of long with wide groves. What is that?
Looks like it is a back inflate? Maybe all of them are like that? I'm too new to know what all of them are like. I do like that it has 2 straps though.
I needed a cute model...
I'm not sure what brand it is. I had just started thinking about possibly getting a BP/W, but I am excited to get some equipment and am very thankful I got it. I'm still thinking about getting BP/W, but will wait until after I get to try one out. I plan to get in the pool in a few weeks and mess with this BCD. Yay, I have equipment!

Yes it is a back inflate, looks like a rebranded bc, generic with a shop name sewn on. The handle is a quick release weight system similar to the rip cord system from Zeagle or others. As long as it fits properly, holds air and inflate/deflate works, you should be good to go.
djb's got it

get used to where everything is and just dive the hell out of it

“There’s a big difference between tolerance and respect. Tolerance is you saying something crazy and me smiling and saying ‘that’s nice.’ Respect is when you say something crazy and I say ‘you’re out of your f—ing mind.’ Direct confrontation, direct conversation is real respect. And it’s amazing how many people get that.” - Penn Jillette
