My daughter loved this watch, and couldn't wait to wear it to school. She loves pink, which was a bonus. The watch is pictured well, but the velcro band was very uncomfortable for her and she said she had to take it off....my daughter will usually suffer through any kind of "fashion" statement, if she likes it, so this must have been VERY uncomfortable for her because she loves it. She still says she loves it, but does not wear it very often. The strap itself is rough against her wrist and because she has a thin wrist, it does not strap tightly and moves around more. I don't know how this helps her to tell time. The little paper cut-outs are already gone. If you don't lose them you will tear them. They should have been made out of some kind of plastic. I think that would be more durable. Still, the clock keeps good time and looks nice. This is a 3.5 star product, but gets a nod to 4 because my daughter is learning how to tell time with it. More so because she likes the watch. This would be 5 star product if it were more comfortable. I have not been able to test it in a pool, but will update if any problem occurs. At this point, I think that the rest of the watch is made well, and the stainless steel is a nice touch. My daughter also loves to rotate the bezel.
