I purchased this watch on July 22, 2009, and when I first received it, I was impressed at how rich looking and substantial this inexpensive watch was. Unfortunatley it stopped keeping time after only 3 months, although the Indiglo feature still works just fine. That would rule out a dead battery problem, so I will have to assume the watch itself is defective. It's still under warranty but you know what a pain it is to send it in for a refund or replacement. I would not recommend this watch.
