This watch is a good watch for the price. It's very difficult to get started, although searching the internet for directions can help. That's how I got it to stop beeping for me every half hour. After a month of daily wear, there were signs of wear. It is blackened on parts of the strip, both outside and inside. The words "Sport" and "Waterproof" are also deleted, as shown in the image. I don't wear this when I'm doing anything rough, underwater, or exercising. I only wear it around the house. I got it because as a nursing student I needed something with analog functions and a timer and it was pretty much the only option. I suppose for the price it's a decent deal, I just want it to be easier to manage and not wear out and look dirty as quickly.
