I am very hard on my watches, and this one has proved to be the best ever since I bought it several months ago. It's the only watch I wear from daytime to evening. The face plate doesn't get scratched up, and there are several wrist band colors (black fabric, white/black logo fabric, red vinyl, burgundy vinyl) to choose from. The watch band pieces are surprisingly easy to switch out to change colors, so I do it often, and they do not come loose (and I am not one to spend time on anything -- this is EASY). This is an excellent value as well.
