I never take this watch off, seriously; I have maybe taken it off 3 times in 2 years! I needed a watch for my research trip to Botswana. I used the alarm to wake me up every morning for a month while I was away, and several other times when I didn't have my phone to set an alarm to. The Indiglo light is amazing as well. Some of the reviews I read said their light conked out on them after about 10 x's. That is certainly NOT the case with mine! I wear this watch while I am out surfing, swimming, in the shower, anything that involves water, and after 2 years I have never had a problem. Also, I have tiny wrists, this watch is far from bulky, which was another factor I was worried about when looking for a watch that did everything I needed. To top it all of, it comes with super easy instructions!!!!! Great Great buy for the price!!!!!
