I've had this watch for amost 2 years. I don't swim or take showers with it. It has held very well, still uses the original battery. There are no scratches (I'm careful, I take it off when doing house chores), but I wear it almost every day, and it still gets me lots of compliments, even after it's been around for a while. It looks almost exactly like a Chanel J12. Mine is the "unisex" model AKR484WT, so it is larger than the women's model. The dial is approx. 39mm. I wear 8" bracelets and I didn't need any adjustments. It's a hefty watch - but I like the weight of the ceramic, and the "unisex" is not made for a tiny wrist. I think the women's model is slightly smaller, and the bracelet is shorter. I'm very happy with it and will continue to wear it.
