i got this watch because i wanted something i could take camping.  i've got small wrists and tiny hands so i figured a kid's watch would be better than most of the adult sport-watches.  and so far it is, though i've only had it a couple days.  it's very light and comfy and i can work around the house and yard with it on.  i like the band, kinda pretty and girly but not too bright and cutesy.  and i appreciate the silver color watch frame; it's subtle enough and goes with the funky silver rings i wear.  i could probably shower with the watch on but won't, and i don't plan on swimming or soaking with it.  oh, and the light is great for the outdoors.  not sure yet about longevity but even if it lasts a year or two i'll be very happy.  it ticks louder than my other watches so i take it off at night since i'm super noise-sensitive.  i don't tend to lose things and am thinking that this watch will be with me for awhile.
