I own six other Eco-Drive watches and love them! Bought this for what I know; Accuracy, Altimeter, Durability, Functionality, Quality, and Style. I know there is an earlier comment about the crown not being protected, but technically it is. If you look at other Eco-Drives with a crown placed at 3 o'clock, it is protected with bump guards and a lockdown crown. This watch has it at the 4 o'clock position and much less likely to suffer abuse. I've had my watch for a month now and no issues with the crown popping out or coming loose and no leaks during swimming or downpouring rain when out hiking.
