I another one of these, and I wore until just about everything on it feel apart.  Mind you, I'm a woman archaeologists and I am hard on watches and other things.  I bought this because I like the look, the way it is set up, and believe it or not the durability.  I had the first one for 10 years, and it was still running great even though the rest of it died.  I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good looking, tough watch.
