I purchased this watch about 1 year ago because the battery has a very long life, the indiglo lighting is great, it has good water resistance, the bracelet band is perfect and the price is good.
I had a Timex watch before and it worked well for many years until the stretch band broke and the watch began to corrode. This is the replacement. I have two other more expensive watches from various anniversary awards and both require expensive battery replacements every year. For both, the battery must be replaced by a jeweler and the water resistance is compromised unless the watch is sent to the factory. This watch works trouble free, keeps perfect time, has good water resistance (even in salt water) and needs NO maintenance. I expect it to continue that way for 5 to 10 years.
