UPDATE: I've had this watch for 9 months now; worn it every day and almost never take it off except when sleeping or in water. I'm outdoors a lot, at the beach or doing yard work, and do a lot of projects around the house so the watch is subjected to plenty of abuse, dirt, sand, sweat, moisture, etc. It has taken some pretty good whacks and been dropped. It is still keeping perfect time. There is but one tiny scratch in the crystal, which is amazing considering what it's been through. The original band is showing some wear but looks like it will last quite awhile longer. This is the least expensive watch I've ever owned but in terms of reliability and accuracy it is the best. Exceptional value for the money.
----------------------------
Very happy with this watch at this price. I will echo a couple of comments others have made. The luminosity is excellent right after going from a light to dark room but it fades drastically after some time away from light. I would not recommend this watch for anyone who frequently needs to be able to read the time in the dark. The arrow on the bezel is superfluous and it is also very slightly misaligned with the 12 o'clock arrow on the watch face; just as it is in the Amazon picture. If this was a $1000 watch I would have sent it back for that but I can live with it on this one. I stopped noticing it after the first day.
So much for the nitpicking. So far it is keeping perfect time. It looks great. My wrist is 7 1/4". I had been wearing a 38 mm watch and I thought the 43 mm case might be a little big but the size is perfect. It is sufficiently rugged looking to be a sports watch but it wouldn't be out of place in a conference room. The gunmetal bezel and the pale yellow numbers look beautiful against the black face. I wasn't sure about the strap in the picture but am very pleased with both its looks and comfort. I'm concerned about how well the mineral crystal will resist scratches. So far it has survived a couple of whacks unscathed. My prior watch had a sapphire crystal that never scratched despite plenty of abuse so I got spoiled. Overall, this watch is a tremendous value for the money.
A couple of issues:
1. The dial illumination is almost zero. You can't read the dial after dark.
2. The face of the watch scratches easily. I've only worn it for a couple of weeks and it's got a good size scratch on the crystal. I've been babying this watch and take it off when I plan to do yard work or anything mildly rugged.
The longer I own this watch the more I like it. It is simple and tells perfect time even when I don’t wear it for a couple of weeks.
The band is very sturdy and functional for a field watch. I’ve washed it a couple of times with no problems.
It tells good time, is attractive and cheap.
