I've had this watch for 5 years and worn it almost every day.  I bought it because it had a cloth Velcro band and it had an hourly beep.  It has stood up pretty well, especially considering I am tough on watches.  In the past I would usually get only 2 years out of a watch, but this one has done really well.  If you just need a general every day watch, you can't go wrong with this.
