I've had this watch now for three weeks and haven't taken it off once. It's comfortable, nice looking and functional. I barely had to read the directions; it's a pretty simple watch to set up. I wear it jogging everyday and I have two big slobbery dogs and the white band has stayed white for me, and that's extremely abnormal. I cleaned it once, but it wasn't very dirty in the first place. Over all, a great watch and an even better price.
