The watch itself, is a nice watch. However, I bought it because it was advertised as water resistant. When I received it, I noticed that the stem did not screw down. All my past water resistant watches had screw down stems...which I can only assume....make them "water resistant". When I contacted the company to question this, their answer was to take it off before going swimming (what???). The reason I buy water resistant watches for my husband is because, sometimes, he forgets. No big deal with his past watches, so I purchased this one so he had a couple (I still like the look of it, though).Had I not thrown all the packaging away...I would have sent this back immediately after receiving that answer.
