I love this watch as the face is so easy to read although I ignore  the date as that is too small for me to see most of the time and it's a pain to set. The watch strap is very long so if you have a small wrist, the extra length is a nuisance. I'm a swimmer and I've found that it's simpler to replace the watch than to replace the battery - I've never had success as once the watch is opened up to change the battery, it doesn't seal effectively and water gets in and after a few weeks there is so much condensation under the glass that I can't tell the time. I've had about 6 of these watches - and and will probably continue to buy them.
