This watch was a replacement for my wife's dead Timex.  I was drawn to the unusual appearance -- she was initially suspicious of the "twisted" face.  Now that she's had it for a while, she's come to love the very large, very clear display.  The rubber bracelet is comfortable for her as well.  She's only splash-tested its water resistance with no adverse results.  She likes that the display is customizable and that it can be set to shut off the display after some length of time.  That said, its timer and countdown features are not intuitive and took a little study to become comfortable (she is, incidentally a Phd scientist...).
