I have owned two of these watches over the last 6 years, they are always reliable and I haven't had one quit working on me yet. My only complaint would be that where the band connects to the actual watch isn't the strongest and can break especially for mechanics. The only other complaint is that over the last 5 years the price on this watch has almost doubled.

I had used this style of watch for years. When it finally died I wanted to get one just like it because it had all the features I used.

The watch works well, and delivery was super fast, however the face and the wrist band are both too small. I found it difficult to view the digital readout of the date, and other indications in the top half of the screen. Also the band is much too tight. It does not move on my wrist at all, and is therefore very uncomfortable. Clearly, these are not defects in the watch, but issues unique to the wearer (me). The next time I buy a watch on-line I will compare the face and band size to an older watch that I found better suited to me. I will probably give the watch to my grandson. Perhaps a smaller wrist and younger eyes will find it a better match.

I got this watch recently at another seller but I really like this watch. I got it because I wanted a waterproof watch that could be used on formal occasions as well. This watch is good on any occasion. I've gotten several compliments on it. It's pros are that it is waterproof up to 30 meters, it goes with any style, and it's easy to slip on because it's stretchy. The cons are that it sometimes puts some weight on the wrist and can make it hurt, if you have hairy arms/hands it will pull on your hair, and it scratches sort of easily. I use it all the time at my swim practice and it's held up so far but I have to be careful because once it caught on the lane line and bent a bit cause it was stuck and I couldn't stop in time. Overall I'd highly recommend it.

Band broke yesterday. First band I ever broke.
It is the same as a "twist-o-flex" (brand name),
but those (an after market third party add-on)
have lasted me 30 years and multiple watches.

"Crystal" is sort of soft and scratches easily,
but can be buffed out with old fashioned car paint
polishing/rubbing compound.

well it worked fine, still does my only complaint is the band. I must have pulled it too hard and the thing "broke" apart. it was fine until then, won't get an expansion band again
