I am replacing a watch of this type which is a about 4-5 of years old.  Quick story. I was snow mobiling a couple of years ago and got really badly stuck.  I had to dig the machine out and in the process lost the watch in deep snow.  I found the watch in the early fall of the next year as I was walking by the spot where I got stuck.  It was keeping perfect time and it actually synced with the radio time standard the night before.  The band was broken but easily fixed.

Its about time for another. Swimming, working on cars, running, hiking, shooting this watch almost never comes off.  It actually looks OK when wearing a suit. But now the lens is badly scratched and the second battery is about gone.  This is one of the best watch values on the planet.
