I had one of these when I was about 7 & living in England; it is a nice basic watch. This purchase has been the 2nd purchase I've made with this watch since 1991. So, I averaged a $20 watch twice ($40) over 24-years so, in short, the watch costs me $1.67 per year. I wear it all day every day no matter what I am doing & only comes off at bedtime. My older watch still worked, it was the buttons stopped working. I managed to get it to beep every hour & I left it on top of a filing cabinet so I hear an hourly chime while I work in my office. The battery has not been changed since the day I bought it.
One other thing, the watch strap is broken in the fact that it slips in to a looser position. Why by a watch strap when you can spend a couple of extra dollars & get a whole new one?
I love it.
