I got my husband one of these, in black vinyl, at least a dozen years ago.  It still works just fine, but is beginning to look raggedy, which is no surprise since it has been worn daily!  This is the new one I got him for Valentine's Day and he loves it.  It is very sturdy, attractive, and the self-setting and solar battery is great. You never have to mess with it, even when the time changes.  The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that the alarm isn't loud enough and is difficult to hear.  I know it is the watch and not us because we hear the old one just fine.  I got one of these silver colored ones for my son more than 10 years ago and it still looks great.  He also wears it daily.  I highly recommend it.
