I needed a watch that displayed seconds and this was a great watch for that. Love the look of it. Supposed to handle water and I wore it while giving my daughter her baths because I only took it off at bedtime.....it eventually built up an ugly yellowish tint to it from the baths. Can't wear it anymore unfortunately. Maybe could find someone to clean it, but don't want to deal with having to do that all the time.

This watch is exactly what I need and want. I love the color, a soft blue. Its easy to see the time and date without hitting any additional buttons, as in most other watches. It's also waterproof, so there's no need to worry if I forget to take it off before I get in the shower!

I was looking for a basic sport watch that I could wear jogging, weight lifting, etc. This one was an ideal find.

What I like:
- It is light, petite, and easy to put on and take off. It fits my small wrists.
- It looks cool. I normally wear designer watches. This one looks so cute that I don't mind wearing it even when not working out.
- It has way more functions, such as alarms, timer, stop watch, and even world time, though I personally don't care much about them.

What I feel that it could improve:
- The display background has a silver tone. The letters/time are not pitch black. That makes a weak contrast between the background and the time. Though it is not difficult to see the time, I wish the contrast be stronger so that the time stands out more.
- There are four buttons that you can push for time setting and back-lit, etc. They are all flush w/ the casing. In dark when I desperately wanted to lit the display to see the time, 1) it was really difficult to know which way to hold the watch to have 12 o'clock pointing up, as there is no button at 3 o'clock to indicate the direction. 2) It was nearly impossible to locate any button and even more so the button you want because the buttons are all flush w/ the casing.

In short, it is an easy going, basic sport watch without heart rate monitor.

I bought this watch for my 9 years old kid. He used all its characteristics (4 alarms, timer, chronograph) immediately and he has an active life. It is perfect for him: even if the watch external side is scratched the glass has not traces at all. The only side effect is that the body of the watch (around the quadrant) get a bit yellowish with the time and the strong solar light. Also the nice blue of the strap get darker and a bit yellowish.
