I'm about to order my third or fourth of these. It's a great inexpensive watch. Unfortunately there's something about my body chemistry or my environment which causes the band to start cracking after about a year. To replace the band I'd have to send it to Timex, do without it for a week or two, and pay them just about as much as it costs to buy a new one.

At least this time I noticed the cracking before it broke completely. I'm ordering the one with the Fastwrap fabric/Velcro(tm) band. I hope it lasts longer.
