I got this watch after my "fake" one broke (the glass was damaged on the face).  I figured that I would splurge instead of spending another $25 on a fake copy cat watch which I did originally the first time.  I'm glad I spent a little extra money. This is a great watch.  It has sparkle and it's durable enough for my line of work (I'm a nurse). I like that I can wash my hands with it without worrying if it's going to leave green marks on me.  It's also (suprisingly) very light.  The links are plastic-y and while some people might not like that, it hold up very well to wear and tear and it's not as heavy as a ceramic one.  For the price and quality, you can't beat this.  You get what you paid for, and that's what I learned the hard way when I bought the XOXO brand look alike.
