I recently purchased two of these watches because I like it so much. Several years ago I bought this water resistant watch to wear on our sail boat and while swimming. It works great in the water! I am a petite gal and I don't like big bulky water proof watches, so I thought I'd try it. After 10 years and  battery changes, the watch gave up from over use and abuse doing fun stuff! I was sad about the watch wearing out and looked everywhere for a replacement but to no avail. Then I found it here on Amazon, so I bought two! The watch works great in and out of the water. One draw back is that the face doesn't have a light for night time use... I use this as my everyday knock about watch when boating, camping and swimming, and washing dishes. My favorite feature is the 'timer'. This watch has the ability to quickly set a timer for 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 minute intervals. I use this feature ALL the time for every timing need I have for cooking, crafting, watering the garden, you name it. It has really worked for me. It also has a daily alarm and stop watch which are easy to use. It's not a fancy or pretty watch, but it sure is practical and it is so easy to use all the functions w/out having to read a huge manual to do so. They last a long time, but are hard to find, so that is why I bought two! I gave it only 4 stars since the face doesn't have a light. I think it would make a great little boys watch too! note: This is not a dive watch but I wear it swimming all the time and like all water proof watches, have the battery changed by a jeweler to insure the o-ring is properly in place or the watch will not be water resistant.
