I have had this watch for slightly over one year now. It was a Christmas gift (2009) and it has proven to be extremely reliable. It is a very attractive looking watch and I have taken it on on trips to Central and South America in extremely hot and humid conditions, which have ruined other watches of this type that I have bought at a similiar price. This watch is now my travel watch for its reliability and it goes well with casual clothing and dress clothing. I am very happy with it and it is the watch that I wear the most.
