I go through watches often and this one has held up very well. It gets not only wet but submerged pretty frequently and it hasn't taken in any water or gotten wet spots on the inside as I often find with other watches. I've also hit the face against many many things and although there are a couple of scratches it hasn't shattered the face and you can still read the time. Also, many of my watches end up with the band breaking off the face after not very long, this one is not only still intact but it isn't compromised at all.
