I recently received this watch as a gift.  It is a replacement for the exact same model that I've been wearing for a few years now.  The only update was that the backlight on the new one is green instead of blue.  The old one is still going strong, but it was time to get a new shiny one to keep up appearances.  These watches are durable.  I do not usually remove it for much of anything and it keeps telling time.  I like that there are multiple alarms.  It has a date reminder function, but I use my smartphone for such things so I don't use the function.  You can remove some of the menu items when setting the watch, such as the date reminder, if you don't intend on using it.  The size is about right.  I don't care for those huge watches and certainly didn't want a little tiny baby looking watch.  I recommend this watch.
