I don't write many reviews, but this is literally among my my top three favorite items I have ever owned.  I have worn this watch every day for 4 years.  I work in a hospital and I have to move patients several times a day, and it takes a beating.  I hunt, camp, bike, and travel, and it has been the perfect watch for all of these things.  I have dress watches that cost 6 times this one, and I don't wear them.  I have travelled to foreign countries and across the US, and this thing has never missed an atomic update.  EVER.  The battery has never failed.  The band has held up incredibly.  It's not too big, and not too small.  It comes off when I get in the shower only so that I can wash my wrist underneath, then it goes right back on after my deodorant.  I can not say enough good things about this watch.  If it ever fails, I will purchase it until they discontinue it.  I just haven't seen a flaw yet, so I may be buried in this very watch.
