5.0 out of 5 stars Best watch ever made, with one reservation., April 1, 2006

The one reservation is that the plastic and the strap fall apart after a while. So splendid is the watch, however, that I'm forever tempted to preserve the thing somehow, perhaps by encapsulation or making a nice metal bezel to hold a good strap onto it. My experience is that one watch is good for two strap replacements, though it's a bit of an exercise to get the pins out.

The major advantages: It shows the day of the week, the date, the hours, minutes, and seconds. And that is _all_ it shows. No alarms to surprise you, and no stopwatches. There is no joy like that of finding out that instead of local time, the '1:33' you see displayed on your watch's dial means that you accidentally started the stopwatch an hour and 33 minutes before.

The only 'accessory' is that you can set the thing to read on 24-hour time, which is necessary in some applications. The watch is very light, very cheap, very accurate, and I believe the battery lasts approximately forever. There's no back-light, but that's why the battery lasts a long time.

The only other difficulty is availability: Wal-mart--and, obviously, Amazon.com--sell 'em, but at about ten bucks each, they're not high-profit items.

Another bit of folklore. Someone--not me--has or had non-commercial website devoted to this watch.

This watch is just about perfect. Keeps good time, is easy to set and easy to read, runs for years on the original battery, costs almost nothing. No complicated functions most people never use. Too bad the strap breaks after a few years.

As 2 other reviewers stated, this watch is just about bullet-proof except for the band, which loves to break between 1 1/2- 2 years. And I also agree that it's not worth changing the band more than once, the pins and the pin holes are too worn out after that. I've very often found myself wearing the only watch that still worked after unbelieveable conditions, including extreme humidity, high heat, shock, below-freezing temps and extreme abuse. The watch laughs off jet fuel, oils, cleaning fluids and anything else I've ever subjected it to. I buy them two at a time just to be sure I have one when my strap breaks, I'm addicted to wearing this thing because it just keeps on going. I'd pay more for it, but I'm glad I don't have to.
