If the watch did not have a date "feature", I probably would have been happier.  The date "feature" is 100% worthless.  It is fine if we had 31 days in each month but of course we do not.  So it means constantly changing it, which is a lesson in patience.  And I tried hard to get the day (comes set to "WED") to change but it would not.  So I ended up with WED 6, when it is really THU 6.  This is a gift for my brother so I will tell him to ignore the calendar and just enjoy having a good display for the time.  The main reason I bought this particular watch was because of the clear display and the stretch band, which my brother needs. Due to these good aspects, I am giving it 3 stars but I would give it 2.5 if I could because of the irritating date "feature".
