I have had this watch for 4 years and the first band broke in 2 years. I had figured that it may have been just been from an active lifestyle. Now 2 years later again and the band is nearly torn through again. (I have enjoyed this watch so much that it almost never came off my wrist so I do not understand how the tears form..) I had figured that for the near $1000 I spent on the watch, especially a watch advertised as a sporty/active one, that I would get well beyond 4 years of enjoyment. If I buy another band it will cost $200+ again so unfortunately I will just invest in another watch.. Cant even begin to state how disappointed I am in the watch because of this. I have loved the watch and gotten countless compliments over the years. I seriously would get lost looking at it when the light struck it. The face still looks brand new, some minor scratches from wear and now it is a shame that I wont be able to wear it much longer. It'll just make a really nice paper weight that continues to keep extremely accurate time. Don't buy this watch. You'll fall in love with it but it will just break your heart in the end.
