The La Crosse WT-966B was a great purchase. It is better in appearance and easier to read than the less expensive model. Several reviewers have faulted La Crosse for implying that this model is stainless steel, and I agree that the advertising is perhaps a bit misleading. But anyone knows that a radio receiver can not be surrounded by metal, or it would require an external antenna running up your sleeve, something we don't want. The WT-966B has a stainless steel band, and the plastic watch body is finished with a substance that matches the band exactly. It all appears to be made of stainless steel. I did require the services of a jeweler to remove two band segments so that the unit would fit my wrist, but this degree of assistance is not uncommon.
