I have been wearing this watch every day for about 4 months now. I wore it to work (in the kitchen) and to school. It still looks like new! I wash dishes and wash my wrist/hands with them and they hold up great. I would just like to point out that while it is a great budget watch, it is very small and probably only suitable for small women's wrists. back to normal. I'm not skinny but my wrists are skinny and I'm on the penultimate hole. I can't even imagine how small my wrist would be to get through the first hole (childish I guess). I saw this watch at Wal-Mart from Casio in the same black color but it was different and of lower quality. I like really clean, scratch resistant bands that I find can be sanitized well and still look new. nice choice.
