This watch is very attractive (the photos cannot do it justice) and have stood up to brutality of my working environment. For the past 2+ years it has been constantly wet, hit with hard objects, occasionally covered in sticky substances....etc.
It cleans up easily with a brush and Dawn dish soap. When it's clean, it shines like a new dime.
Only two of the small stones have been lost due to the above mentioned abuse.
The battery has never stopped or caused the watch to "lose" time.
I wish that it possessed the calender feature & Indiglo/light technology. My other, less-dressy-looking, Timex has these features and I miss them on this watch. The watch band was too long/large when I received it and I ended up taking it to a jeweler to have a $10 adjustment made. I have always considered my wrists to be large, so this was unplanned. :) If a person has small hands & wrists, this watch may appear too big. Just my opinion.
The bottom line: Very pretty watch at a good price.
