I've been wearing this watch for a little over a year and it still looks great and still works flawlessly. It will lose stored energy and stop if you don't wear it for a day or two, but that's true for all automatic watches since the movement of your wrist supplies the energy to the spring. The crystal is clear and hard and still without a single scratch. The clasp is lightly scratched but the band and the bezel still look brand new. A year later and I still love it. Recommended, especially for the price.
