My husband goes through watches like most people do socks. His job causes him to damage and lose them. We have tried more expensive watches and have found they don't last as long as inexpensive one. So we buy him two watches, one for good and one for work. This one has actually lasted longer than most of his watches. Does a respectable job and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. His only complaint is he keeps accidentally hitting the alarm button and it suddenly will go off at the worst times. If he doesn't have a free hand to shut it off, it keeps beeping, which is annoying to him and others.
