I've been using it for a year and a half, and despite some abuse, there are no bothersome scratches on it, and everything still works perfectly. I really like that the numbers are bigger than on some of the cheaper watches, and the dial is just the right size for a man's watch -- it's comfortably big, and great for anyone who isn't too insecure. Mine keeps time pretty well. It has a tendency to be fast, but I don't have to reset it often. Highly recommended.
