I picked this watch up in June of 2011, and as of January 2012 it is still running accurately. I've tossed it onto my desk countless times after coming home from work, worn it in the rain, and every time I look at it the face matches the time on my blackberry. It is a great cheap little watch. The only downside is I prefer the feel of leather on my wrist, and I had been hoping to switch out the rubber/plastic factory band with an old leather one I had. The width was correct, but the leather was too fat to fit.
