My previous black skinny Swatch just met its maker a few months back due to its face being scratched beyond recognition, to be replaced by this skinny wrap band Swatch. I do love it, it is simplistic and functional. Only thing, yet again, the face is scratched after a few days of wear. It's not like I work in a cactus factory or attempt to pick up stray cats with much frequency. There must be something Swatch can do to protect that little plastic faceplate, in the meantime, I just ordered an old face guard off Etsy. Maybe this will prolong the visibility.
