I have owned this watch for almost two years. The watch looks sporty but it doesn't make you look like you're pretending to be James Bond, a Navy Seal, or Chuck Yeager. It is very accurate (+6 seconds/month; take that, Rolex and Omega!). The movement has worked perfectly. The band is comfortable and secure. Although the steel bezel surrounding the crystal is scratched and dinged from normal wear, the crystal is very hard and is completely scratch-free--amazing!(why pay megabucks for a sapphire crystal?) I had been wearing this watch while swimming; however, after the second summer of swimming with it on, it fogged up from water intrusion, so I no longer swim with it on. I have since learned that water resistance is not a permanent property and you need to periodically service such a watch to maintain water resistance (this is true for any water resistant watch). On the negative side, the watch is difficult to read in dim light; the luminous hands and markers do not glow very brightly at their baseline intensity. Overall, however, a watch like this makes you realize how grossly overpriced the Swiss-made watches are (unless you want a status symbol).
