This watch is proof you get what you pay for. I purchased this watch from a jewelry store (stupid, I should have gotten it from Amazon) in 2009. It's 2018 and it's still running strong. I don't take it off when I'm working on my vehicles, and yes it has a few scratches, but let me tell you I've never seen a watch that could keep up with all the abuse and keep ticking. Oh and because it's solar, it's still running on the original battery even after all these years.
