I own the older version of this watch. In 1989 I became a certified diver and need a reliable watch to go under with. I purchased the older version of the same watch back then and it is still going strong! I never gave it a second thought until last week when I had to change the battery. I took it in and asked the tech to check the water resistance on it just for laughs as I don't use it for diving any more. It passed the 200 meter test with flying colors! I was amazed but the tech wasn't because he know how solid the watch was and told me that it's one of his best sellers!

After 24 years of use, countless bands and battery replacements, the watch is still as amazing as the day I bought it. It shows it's age as coral and sand are unforgiving, but the watch is an amazing performer. I will never replace it with a newer watch because I want to see how long it will really last. I'll keep you all posted!
