This watch does everything I want in a watch, and then some.  I really only need to tell time (to the second), but the day and date are handy.
The stopwatch feature is difficult to use - not important to me, but it is one of the "features" of the watch.  The four side buttons on the watch don't react to my finger pressure - I must use my fingernail or my pen to depress them enough to activate them.  The alarm is so quiet that I cannot hear it - unless I am holding the watch to my ear.  As with all the watches I have tried, the light fails to light up the information sufficient to read it at night.
I suppose the new plastic bands wear better than leather, and they are no doubt cheaper than stretch bands - but I don't find them comfortable.
Since the watch tells time - to the second - accurately and has an easy-to-read large display, I am content with it.
