I bought this watch in 2010 and it worked for a good solid 8 months. After 8 months, the second hand would go to 12:00 and then fall down to 6. Then the battery died and after replacing the battery, the watch will not function. It worked great and was a fanatastic field watch...when it worked. Sadly, I will  not pay to have it repaired as the repairs will cost more than the watch. Buy with caution.
