I am really impressed with this watch. I am a huge Timex IronMan fan but decided to step up and try this out. Since I have only had it for a few days I will be unable to praise its durability. It has a "glass" face not plastic and I appreciate the compass when driving and need orientation. The time is really easy to read and the night view is much better than the Timex. I chose this over the Timex Expedition because of the resin band and am glad I did. I downgraded it to four stars because the little catch that keeps the end of the strap tucked in kept sliding down and as a result I lost my watch when it somehow unlatched itself.... I know purchased a Casio DW290 and so far it has been great.
