I have had several Timex watches. I love that they are inexpensive and can wear them into water and they last for years.  I bought this one to replace an old one that still worked after many years, the strap had just broken!  My old watch I would never have to take off to go into a pool at all.  This one had about 1 month and got water inside it after going into a pool. It still works, but it's not really usable anymore, it's got water on the inside that is fogging up the front of it.
