I had three other comparable but more expensive watches break in rapid succession  before buying this and I purchased it out of desperation. But, It has been great for about 6 months. The face is getting scratched up fast though. At this rate it will probably make it 2 years. For the cost that will do. I replaced the band with a cheap nylon band, but the band that came with it was actually surprisingly soft and comfortable compared to similar bands I've had on. Looks nice and is not too big and chunky. I like it.
