My son has gone through two of these watches. He doesn't wear watches; he brutalizes them. The last one served him well for seven years. The first watch lasted around five years. I bought one and immediately liked it. I didn't like the black band and replace it with a nice metal bracelet. I wore that watch for nearly nine years. I had the battery changed 3 or 4 times. The last time the battery was changed, the jeweler told me the pushers had become clogged. He cleaned them, and I wore it another two years. When it finally conked, I got another watch. It is good for daily wear, and with a nice metal bracelet it makes a good dress watch. If you like this breed of watch, I think you will like this one.
