I bought this watch for my daughter, she loved it! Very nice watch, however the band is beaded onto a stretch plastic lace and it got snagged on something and broke, all the beads on one side of the watch fell off; never to be found again. Needless to say the watch band needed to be replaced and this same type of band is unavailable. I will keep searching for a replacement, maybe I will find a different one that is suitable. I do love the swatch brand though!
