I guess I shouldn't say that I love it, because it's our son's watch - but I know for sure HE does! We bought this for him in early 2011 before he went through the Crucible at Parris Island (when they were finally allowed to wear watches). Except for his first 2 weeks at Officer Candidates School (he was accepted about two years after he graduated from Parris Island, and they aren't allowed to wear them there at first either), he tells us this watch never leaves his wrist. By now, it's gone through all kinds of stuff besides the Crucible, including "The Quigley" at Quantico (look it up!), and it's still working. To sum up, it's a well-made watch that, in the words of the old Timex commercial - "takes a beating and keeps on ticking" - or at least, running! :)
