I bought this as a replacement for the same watch with a broken strap. My husband is in construction and needs to wear a servicable, waterproof watch that he doesn't have to be careful of. He loves the back lit screen. What breaks is the band...not the watch. But it cost only a few dollars more to replace the whole watch than it would  have to replace the band. I give this 5 stars because it is a  watch that gives you good service for several years at a very low price...not because it's a status watch designed to impress.
