Stuhrling Original Clipper Women's Steel Divers Watch

My boyfriend bought this watch for me last Valentine's Day (2011). This past fall, on the day of daylight saving time's switch, I carefully pulled out the post to reset the time. Unfortunately, the WHOLE post came out, and could not be repaired. I have never had a watch last less than a year. I am very careful with my jewelry and keep it clean, don't get them in water, and place them in the same spot every evening. This watch was a real disappointment. It's very pretty, with a large face and easy to read numbers, the bracelet is large, so some may need to remove a link or two, and the body itself held up well. I read some of the other reviews, and didn't see anyone else having this problem. I had in fact researched the brand, and despite watch "purists" dismissing it as jewelry, rather than accurate timepeices, I put it on my gift list. I am sad to say that I won't be buying this brand again. Their watches are very beautiful, but I would rather own a watch that works, and isn't quite as fashionable, than have a watch that is overpriced and not reliable. I won't be recommending the brand to any of my friends.

I chose this watch for its resistance to water. When I received the watch, I placed it in a glass of water for 30 minutes and it did not fog the lense. I also swim with it on in the pool and it stays dry inside. The only problem I have with it is that the 10-20-30-40-50 bezel is not in proper alignment with the 6 and 12 spots. The manufacturer should have proofed this problem before they sent out the watch. For such a fabulous presentation box you would think they would have checked every tiny detail.

• How did the image on site compare with the actual product? The photo on site is same as my watch except that my watch's bezel is off-kilter; the "30" is askew and in the "25" spot.
• How accurate was the sizing? Very accurate
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very good quality for the price

I love this watch. The face is big and easy to read. It is very practical which suits me fine.

A very nice watch for the money.My daughter received it for her thirteenth birthday. Beautifull presentation box, comparable to watchs far far more expensive.I would highly recommend this watch.
