I collect watches, and have several that are fairly expensive; that is, over $500.  I bought this one to wear on vacation, doing yard work, fishing, etc., not expecting much, and not worrying if it broke, since it was so cheap (I paid under $40 for it).  Upon examining all that it does, and how accurate it keeps time, I feel this is perhaps the best 'bang for the buck' watch that I own.  It was a little time consuming setting up, but once that was done, I am loving this little watch.  It is VERY durable-it has gone through the wash not once,but TWICE (my stupidity), and still works like a champ.  This watch has gotten great reviews for a reason; it is an excellent watch at a great price!
