Best watch I have ever owned ,only watch that is "useable", for me. I am a hunting,fishing,outdoor guide. I must have a watch that can be read in near total darkness at all times-even hours after the glow in dark type fail. This one does that, and will for up to 25 years the manufactuer claims. It is very accurate, can be worn to any occassion pretty much, and will stand up to all kinds of use, or in my case maybe, abuse. The sealed, screw-down case etc. make this waterproof, or at least resistant at hundreds of feet past where I will ever go. I prefer the rubber-type band rather than the metal. I thought I wanted the metal, but have found this one more comfortable and worry-free for me. It is a little expensive,doesn't look like a Tag-Hauer, or Rolex, but will do things those won't, wouldn't trade straight across ! In short, if you  have an active, outdoor, life, or line of work stop looking, and buy one.
