I bought this watch because I needed one for running. I'm not a running fanatic, I just like to do it for exercise a few times a week. This watch is your basic digital watch. Its durable and stylish. I wear it when I ride my motorcycle on my commute, instead of taking the car, and I can see the numbers fine. I manage a local pool in the summertime and it held up well to the water and chemical splashes. Its an overall great watch for my needs and price
