I bought this watch as a "sports/toss-around" watch to wear when doing athletic activities and "manual-labor".
I must say, my only two "complaints" are the crystal scratched pretty easily and I have a hard time seeing the date function in the dark, even with the INDIGLO feature.
As far as the crystal scratching easily is concerned, I didn't really notice it until after spending a whole day in the woods cutting down trees and lugging wood around. The scratches are hardly noticeable (in my opinion) and do not hinder my ability to read the time quickly and efficiently, especially in low/no-light situations.
The date function isn't really important to me to begin with so not being able to read it in the dark is a non-issue for me, but I thought I'd mention it in-case it is important to someone else.
I think one more thing I should mention, and I see this as a reoccurring issue in all analogue watches, is that the date constantly ends up being a day off here and there. Although, this is because the date function on analog watches have either thirty or thirty-one day dials with no ability to choose the month you are actually on. So, this just means that once a month you're going to have to manually change the date, which only takes about 30 seconds (that includes taking the watch off your wrist, changing the date, and then continuing to put the watch back on).

Last, but not least, I think this watch is nice/functional enough to give to my Grand-Father for Christmas.
Hope this helps you make a decision as to the quality of this watch.
