This watch has a very clear, easy-to-read dial. I like the "indiglo" feature. It is ideal for sleep-in-the-dark wear-a-watch-to-bed guys like me. It also keeps pretty good time. I bought this one to replace one just like it that lasted almost ten years. After shopping quite a bit, I found nothing any better in this price range. Of course, nothing is forever. Eventually, the case will become etched by natural skin chemicals, and the stem may even disintegrate. So, buy another watch. The negatives are these: 1)like all cheap calendar analog watches, you have to manually advance the dates at the end of short months, 2)the band is magnet for dust and crud, so it needs cleaning once a year with a toothpick or needle. If you're lucky, the battery will last as long as the watch. Otherwise, I suggest going to a real jeweler to replace the CR-2016 cell. The back of the case does not unscrew; it "pops" off. Getting it off is no problem. Getting it back on (without ruining the seal) takes more talent than you typically find in the shops that also sell automobile batteries. All things considered, this is a rather good watch for the money.
