I love these watches. Over the past 15+ years I have probably owned 4 or 5. They keep time well, durable, fashionable, easy to operate, and the indiglo works well and is easy to activate. For a plastic watch they are pretty durable because I beat the stuff out of them. I've always destroyed the watch before I've ever had a battery die. What usually does the watch in is that the band gets too damaged to repair and honestly it's just easier to buy a new one, than deal with finding another band I like as much as the original. This one replaced one that the band had come apart (sewing) that I had repaired already one time. I love the cloth bands and when they get a little funky, you just take the watch into the shower with you and scrub it up. I've never had any issues with the water resistance either. My only other slight complaint about this one if the little band that holds the loose band end down doesn't stay in place very well.
