I ordered this for my mom for her birthday.  She needed a good water-proof watch.  These eco-drives are usually water-proof, as this one is, and the battery in these eco-drives are warrentied for 15 to 20 years.  Great watches, but the face of this one is small and date display is incredibly small.  My mom cannot even read it.  So, it's a good watch, but if you have a little vision trouble, get a bigger one.
