My Husband bought me this watch for our 20th Anniversary, we just passed our 28th a month ago. I wear my watch 24/7, I have not killed it yet, that is a record. I do dive, work as a teacher aid, go birding, and do 'all the normal daily stuff', the one thing I don't do, is worry about my watch. The watch has been hiking in the Andes of Ecuador, diving in Galapagos, Bonaire, Pacific N.W.,and Lake Superior. It also went white water rafting in Olympic National Park, we got dumped in the water and the watch faired much better than I did! I did find a stainless steel replacement band and that did dress it up a bit. I can not imagine having a better watch.
