This watch is exactly what you expect - a $16 watch. But having said that, it'd be a mistake to assume that means that it's not a good watch. The hands glow brightly after exposure to light, but the glow fades fairly quickly. I only notice it because I work night shift and am up all night to see it. The face is easy to read with large numbers and a large dial, and the band is comfortable. It's been completely waterproof during exposure to all the things that I do that involve being around and under a lot of water. Most amazing, after a week of use it has kept EXACT time, to the second, matching up perfectly with my Casio G-shock atomic solar digital watch. I expected that it would do okay for a few days, but never expected that it would be in perfect synch, never missing a second a full week in. The only reason that I don't give it five full stars is the relatively brief luminescence of the hands, which isn't nearly as important as the time function and the water-proofness. Great bargain!
