I bought this watch for my wife for every day use. She had an old Timex that she would never take off for shower or swimming. Let's say this thing has been through a lot but it worked.
I picked this watch based on the very positive reviews and also because it should be 99 feet water resistant. After first time in a Jacuzzi the crystal became covered with moisture - from the inside. She liked the watch a lot so she decided to keep it and just be careful with it. 8 months since the purchase the adjustment screw rusted off so she will be wearing this watch until the time change since she can't change the hour on it.
I am very disappointed in this watch. If the description said that it is not water resistant, I just wouldn't buy it.
I'm giving it two stars just because it does look very classy and well made. The date box is tiny, but since my wife can see it, I'm not making a fuss about it.
