I bought this as my every day work watch 5 years ago and I can tell you that the EP-6000-07H can be worn nonstop...no matter what you do. I'm a chef so my time piece really takes a beating 65 hours a week. I regularly run into hard objects and work around pressurized water with hardly a scratch on the crystal, no loss of time, and NO damage to any other part of this jem. I will say that the stock band was a little small and was downright uncomfortable on my slender wrists.....no worry...modenawatch.com sells fantastic silicon replacement bands with deployment hardware that surpasses most stock bands, plus they are totally sanitizeable and heat resistant to boot. I'm going to throw down the soap box for a moment here and say Citizen really needs to step up into the modern woman's world...we don't want dinky little watches that fit children....the only thing that would make me love this watch more is 4 more millemeters in case diameter. All aside, if you're thinking about this watch just stop.........get one NOW...great style, durability, and value...plus no battery replacement = timepiece nirvana.
