My old 15 year Timex gave up the ghost.  I've always liked a digital watch so looked over what's available for what I was willing to spend.  This far exceeded my expectations.  Love the hourly chime.  If you don't read the directions, you'll have a little trouble setting it up, if you do, it's a snap.  I doubt I'll be wearing my dress watches very much.  Looks great.  Band is in keeping with the watch itself
