I've had 3 of these watches over the years.  I'm a woodworker, and I wear the watch in my shop every day.  It's durable and VERY easy to see. It's been bumped and scratched many times with my tools, wood, etc. and it just keeps on tickin'.  I also love the indigo back lighting--easy to see in low light. My only problem is the band, which is way too big for my wrist.  Since I like expandable watch bands, I've learned how to make the band smaller by taking out links, though it's a fairly tedious process.  I've bought a couple of the watches at Walmart, and they do this for me.  I'm sure when this watch bites the dust, I'll be buying another.
