I bought this pink swatch a little over a year ago. I LOVED this watch. I didn't even think they still made them anymore, until I spotted a swatch on someone else's wrist. That's when I researched & found it on amazon!!! I was so happy when I received my watch. I love the old school look. In the 80's, I only bought swatches!!

I did think that the plastic was a little stiffer than I remembered. Well, the wrist band recently cracked which confirmed my suspicion of a harder plastic. My old swatches from the 80's lasted a long time and that's with me not being gentle with them.
I'm rough on my watches. It's true, but this was from just taking it off and putting it back on. Maybe I got a defective one, but I recently read another review that basically said the same thing so I don't think it's just me.

Other than the fact that it didn't last much longer than a year, it's a great watch! These watches are not cheap, so I don't think I will be buying another in the near future, but I'll gladly accept them as gifts from family and friends :)

PS Why mess with a good thing? Why can't they still be made from the softer more rubbery plastic? Anyone know?
