My daughter bought me this watch several years ago, I have stuck it to the bottom of a water trough trying to unplug it, wrestled calves, dug ditches, gardened, covered it in muck, washed it up and presto looks good as new; well almost. After reading another review I did check to see if I had any scratches on the crystal. I had to move the watch around but I did find a couple, actually there's more scratches on the band. I would have to say this has been one of the best watches I've owned. Let's see how does that go "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking" accurately I might add.
