I bought this for a nine year old who will beat it up. looks durable enough to stand it. it is a good basic watch that is a little more complicated than necessary. my Casio Men's W211B-1AV Digital Sport Nylon Strap Watch is simpler to set and use. the reason that I bought the Casio Men's W756-1AV Digital Sport Watch is the very easy to use start/stop timer on the bottom of the face. a nice feature. upper display total time 1/100 second. lower display event time in whole seconds. the watch is a bit thick. measures 1/2 inch. the W211B-1AV is 7/16. for the price and start/stop button, 4 stars.
