I've been wearing this watch model for probably 15 years. When my last one broke, I bought three of them so I would not be without one again. (The model my husband wore is no longer made.) The band seems to be a bit thinner, cheaper plastic than before, but I bought it for the functions, especially the 1-, 3-, 5-, 10-, 15-, 20-, and 30-minute timer. Those work perfectly. I use that function every day so I don't forget things. It's simple to operate. Has an alarm, day and date. Although it says it's not warrantied to use when washing the car, I've taken a shower with mine on since I first started wearing them. It's a bargain at under $15.
