I own this watch it is a great watch at this price point at first  I did not like this watch but then I changed out the leather  strap for a rubber one and I wear this every day. It is basically the same as my old Casio
that I wore for 7 yrs that started to rust inside. I paid $220 at Macys so this is an amazing deal.
Change the strap and you will like this watch no batteries needed but sunlight is required to recharge.
