I am a Christmas tree decorator and this watch is the only one I wear between November and January. I need a reliable chronograph to keep me moving out of 1 hour parking zones and can take a beating but still look great. I've never been a Casio guy as I think a watch really reflects something about the person wearing it and I am not a robot :-) . This watch is the main reason I cannot buy an omega Speedmaster because I have way too many memories with this thing.
