I bought this watch a week ago and its the best decision I've made. this watch will probably last a life time.
The time piece is excellent. Perfect size, very light on the wrist, and looks great. The reason why I'm marking down on the overall rating is the rubber wrist band...it pulls on arm hair, is very sweaty and generally uncomfortable. To all buyers...spend the extra $$ and get the watch with the matching metal wristband because it will be more comfortable and the watch will look 100x's better. This watch seemed like a good value at $270, but now I'm having to spend another $200 for the metal wristband...don't do what I did.
Was sick of ironmans and gshocks breaking within a couple years, we shall see how this upgrade lasts. Time will tell.
