I could not be happier with this watch for the money paid.  I have this model and the identical 7180 with the white face and neither has done anything weird in years of ownership.  I wear it every day and after a few months they're both down to losing less than a minute per month.  Truth be told I'm always resetting the time to match my phone, car or office clock so that's not even an issue with the watch.  I get nothing but compliments on how they look, especially how clear the crystal face is.  I bang these watches on things all the time and only one bezel has a small blemish.  I actually just got back from a cruise where they were really pushing watches and the shopping consultant told me that he really liked my watch and asked what else I needed in a watch when he saw me looking at some Citizens.  I told him really the only thing this watch doesn't have is a compass feature but that's a specialty thing.
