I work in a very hot dressert, this watch has held up great for two years and running.  Will buy more.  Gets many compliments and does not make a noise when ticking like most Timex watches tend to.  The only thing is some minor paint fading of the outer painted on plastic number on what would normally be a rotatable bezel, but that is only because I clean it off every couple of days.  No date to constantly have to change every couple of months, I find this ideal.  Easy to see / read at glance.  Wish it had a light though.
