Great Watch
By BCBoarder
October 7, 2004
I love this watch. It is good looking and light for it's size (I dont really notice it compared to other large watches that I have owned. I have put the face though some rough treatment and it only has 1 small scratch, where my citizen watch has numerous scratches from the same kind of abuse. I have (by mistake) hit the button underwater and nothing bad happened, but I would not try it on purpose, I have also gone diving with this watch 4 times and it performed fine (none of the dives were over 70 feet). My only complaint is that it is a little complicated to use, but once you have it down it is not a problem to use.
