I got this watch for my twelve your old to wear because he has a tendency to come home after his 8 pm curfew.

My son swears after two weeks that, "It just quit working." And he has a tendency to be a bit rough on his things... so I am hesitant to judge the watch too harshly. With that being said, I've gotten Timex watches for myself, and they've worked great and are pretty durable... but this watch, when it quit working, there was some condensation between the dial and the glass... which makes me think it wasn't put together that well... it was supposed to be water proof and that's a pretty good indicator that water has gotten into the watch.

Maybe the quality of Timex watches has gone down... but overall... I expected better that two weeks of wear by my twelve year old and I was disappointed with the watch and probably won't buy another. There are plenty of watch brands that work all the time, not just some of the time.
