Bought one 16 years ago and it still works perfect. Runs about 5 secs fast a month but who cares? I paid $80 for it in 2005 and have worn it daily since. I dont wear it in water and when I go on vacation I take a $30 sport watch. I think as watches age the rated water resistance may fade and Its not worth chancing.I have spent more in watch bands than I paid for it thats for sure. Had two close calls losing it when I used to reuse the watchband pins.No more.Great watch ,and if it dies I will purchase another.
I bought this watch 6 yrs ago and wear it in rough-outdoor use daily. Other than scratches it remains a perfect performer. It is hard to think of design improvement. Maybe a titanium case and hard black finish would be enhancing.
Perfect watch for a smaller wrist! The day /date complication was also a must for me. As far as I am concerned this is the perfect, affordable watch, that never needs a battery.

Lightweight compact design is very comfortable for all day wear. Battery recharges passively with solar power so you never have to change the battery ever again. Best watch I've found in 10 years.
