After two years of use with frequent hand washing in a health care setting, I lost my first watch when I got water under the crystal. My husband ordered this one for me because of the good reviews, and its reputation for staying dry and accurate in wet conditions. It's feminine, pretty, has a large face with a sweep hand, and is still dry two weeks in. The downside: after adjusting it to fit well on my small wrist, it's a little hard to get on and off with the unusual catch mechanism. I'll give it time, but all in all, I'm very happy with this purchase.
