You get what you pay for. This Casio would be a great watch for every day use, but the face will scratch and scuff the moment you open the package. I've had it for almost 2 weeks, and already it has multiple scratches. The 10 year battery is a great feature, but will outlast the crystal. Everything else about the watch great. The band feels sturdy, the luminous hands and numbers glow beautifully, and so far, no problems with the actual timekeeping of this piece. Date window is a great feature in a 16 dollar watch. So for the money, it's worth it. But if you want something that you can wear daily and not have to worry about scratches, search elsewhere. The Timex expedition series (which I also own) would be a better choice. Hope this helps!
