The dial and strap are very durable. I work with cars, tools and training; The watch was hit and pulled so many times and after 6 months there was almost no scratch left on the dial. Very well made, especially good with vibration function. Cons and why I have 4 stars: First, the lights don't stay on long enough. It stays on for about 1 second, barely enough time to set an alarm, timer, or read a stopwatch in the dark. The second downside can be a bit counterintuitive: the 4 buttons are pretty hard to press, but that might mean they're stiffer for durability. I could have used 2 alarms instead of 1 but other than that I use this on a call and keep looking down to check for a broken face or torn ligament and it never fails.
