This "seven year watch" literally failed in seven days, with no harsh treatment at all: Not exposed to moisture, heat, or even much cold. Very, very disappointing, especially considering that a) the last Timex I bought, about ten years ago, only lasted 6 months, and b) I decided to pay a little extra for the watch this time in hopes it would last longer than cheaper watches usually do.Well, the Casios might chip and peel and look ugly, but at least they still work.Also, the stock band is quite thick and difficult to buckle. Case is irritatingly thick (thought it would be OK, but it got on my nerves).On the slight upside, it looks great: Nice solid chrome case with a brushed-steel (albeit stationary and therefore FAKE) timer-bezel.
