I normally don't wear watches, but I bought this watch for my one month trip to Thailand. This watch had everything I needed. It was waterproof and withstood everything - showering, washing my hands, white water rafting, swimming, and snorkeling. The light allowed me to see what time it was at night. It came with a little instructions manual, so I was able to figure out how to set the times after fiddling with it for a bit. It has two modes so you can have two time settings -- I used it to keep track of what time it was at home versus in Thailand. It has an alarm function, which I ended up not using, and a timer too. It was comfortable, and easy to remove. I read a review saying someone's watch beeped every hour, which worried me, but mine did not. Definitely buy this.
