This is a basic watch, which is exactly what I was looking for. It keeps time pretty accurately. Sometimes, I carry it around in my pocket. Last night, I forgot it inside the pockets of my shorts and put the shorts in clothes washer. The watch survived a normal wash cycle in warm water wash followed by a normal dryer cycle (still inside the pockets). Any time, I forget a coin in the pockets, it invariably pops out in the wash cycle. The additional bulk of watch straps and lighter than coin weight, probably, kept it inside. It is still ticking and did not lose or gain any time during the wash and dry cycles. No signs of any water ingress in the watch. I am not going to tempt my luck again, but I figured, it deserves a review posting.
