Great watch, small band!!,
This is a great watch, it really is, I really like it, BUT, I found that the watch band that comes with it is quite small, and, no, I’m not a big, fat person, I’m normal-sized, and this watchband is very definitely on the small (very small) side! Otherwise, a very nice watch, though.

|I’ve had this watch for years, and it’s a good one,
I’ve owned this watch for a good 15 years. Not one watch, mind you; I’ve bought the exact same watch about 5 times over that period. It is a good watch, nice looking, loud enough alarm, and it lasts a long time on the included lithium battery.
The watch is definitely waterproof, but although the body of the watch looks like it’s made out of metal, it is actually plastic, and the bottom of it will eventually pit out from sweat or water. So, take it off in the shower or pool.
My big gripe about the watch is the band. I prefer metal stretchy bands to metal snap-on bands or leather bands. This is a spiedel-type band, which will stretch over your hand and snap back in place. Frankly, the reason I’ve had to get so many of these watches over the years is that I will inevitably get the band caught on something while I’m taking off something or putting it on, and it will snap.
It is cheaper to buy an entirely new watch than to replace the band (around $25 versus $14), so that’s what I do. I then use the old watches as supplementary alarms for years. And they do last for years.
A good, solid, digital watch that will give you years of trouble free use as long as you treat it right.
