This will be the third of these I've bought in 5 years.  They have not taken their lickin's gracefully.  The first lost the band that holds the straps together after about a year so I had to improvise and crreate a little strap out of electrical tape, then a year or so later the watch itself stopped working.  I went to replace the battery but it still didn't work, so I don't know why it died.

I looked around for a watch that would last longer...  but I just loved the slim style with easy to read big numbers and I love that the timer goes up in increments (1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 minutes).  I also love how easy it is to program and change modes and I love the indiglo function, it's just such a thoughtfully designed watch.  So I bought another one and loved it too.  My baby loved chewing on it... and then it died too.  So much for water resistant.  It was only about 1 1/2 years old.

Wish I could find an attractive digital watch with a timer that lasts more than 2 years...  so it says a lot about how much I like this watch that I'm going to buy a 3rd!

Update:  I bought the 3rd and two days after it arrived, it died too...  so I downgraded my stars from 4 to 3 and I'm trying a different Timex next...  love that preset timer function!  Hope it works better for me.
