I have bought many of these same watches. The first one, the battery died before it did. Plus the band was going bad so I replaced the watch for a new one. At work, we are not allowed to wear anything on our arms, hands or neck. So I keep it on my belt loop on my pants.  With 12 hour shifts of production,the watch really takes a beating at work. I even have washed it with my pants many times. Love this watch. Yes it has it's fault, scratches easily, the band is velcro and it goes first.
