I received this watch from my husband for an anniversary gift about 3 years ago and I've never had any problems. I've only had to get the batteries replaced once. I like it a lot, I mean how can anyone mess up with a Gucci? I like the fact that the face swivels so it can look like a bangle bracelet also. I wear mine practically everywhere and have banged it up quite a bit, but not very much scuff marks at all.
