Got this to wear in an exam that doesn't allow "programmable digital watches."  It's great because the outer ring allows you to time yourself to some degree, at least up to an hour.  I now wear this as my normal daily watch, but I wasn't expecting anything fancy.  I can see how some people would be disappointed if they were hoping for something a little closer to a g-shock/baby-g watch.  It's a plastic watch, so... expect a plastic watch.
