I bought this watch for my husband to replace an identical watch I had purchased him more years ago than I can remember.  I was so sad when is last watch broke because I knew I'd never find the same watch again.  Luckily, I did!  The face is slightly larger, but all the functions, buttons, etc. are identical.  His last one far outlasted our expectations, so I buy this with confidence that we'll have another great product.  He loves this watch because of the ease of use in making it a timer, alarm clock, or resetting for time zones as he does a fair amount of traveling.  The only downside is that he went through a few bands during the time he had his last one.  The leather band is attractive, but ultimately doesn't last forever.
