I never wear a watch, but I needed to get one for an upcoming test in which I have to keep my time but can't use any digital timing device. I wanted something inexpensive but durable with an easy-to-read face. This has been perfect. The face is very clear and easy to read and also has a little backlight glow for nighttime. The green strap (and matching second-hand) is a really fun, bright color. It's actually offered in a bunch of different colors (and in a few different widths, too, I believe). I've only had it for a couple months, but it's already survived very nicely being hit against things constantly, since I'm not used to having a watch on my wrist. I don't have any complaints. I'm very happy with it.
