This is a great watch that will last. The only two negatives, which are fairly minor, are the battery life and original band durability. Id say around 6-12monthes youll have to change the battery. Wrist band is about a year or so, nylon strap is the way to go. Ive had mine for 6-7 years and beat the life out of it. One button cover is missing and the rotating bevel fell off yesterday. IT STILL WORKS. Ive submerged the watch in fuel on multiple occasions, took it on two deployments to Afghanistan, and use it every day as an electrician.
