This is my second DW-290. I have had the first one for about 15 years and have beat it up working at a power plant, but it's still ticking. Got a second one because I needed a new band and for around thirty bucks figured I'll get a whole new watch. Has all the features anyone needs, very reliable, will last forever with a new battery about every 10 years, and is a great value.

I got this watch almost 5 years ago and I love it. I'm a mechanic and I wear this every day and I am very hard on it. I've dunked it in used motor oil by accident gas, grease, and melted the inside of the band with brake cleaner and it still holds up. They only issue I've has was the clasp for the band broke about 3 months ago. Battery has only read low once. If this thing ever breaks I'll but another one no questions asked.

I purchased my first version of this watch in Europe 5 years ago, and am now ordering the stainless version as well. In a nutshell, I LOVE this watch. With it's negative display and black band, it gets more comments than any other watch I own, and is certainly nowhere close to the most expensive one. I wear this thing almost every day, so it IS durable. For the folks that think it's hard to set, just take it off, and on the back of the watch is a legend of how to operate the watch... If all of them would just do that. Batteries last about 2 years.

This watch was purchased for me, for an graduation gift from my family, and it works wonderfully the craftsmanship is prove telling and it looks great with any outfit, its neither too heavy nor cumbersome. The couple things i have noticed was one that its a little slow on keeping the date and one instance it was off by 15mins but it hasn't done that again unusually. It was a great purchase though!

I've had it for about 1 year, it's a really good watch for a great price. I highly recommended it.

This has been a great watch. It has not lost any time for me and the water proofing feature works really well, which is a necessity for an everyday all wear watch. over the past 6 months, the band as stretched out slightly, but unless your wrist is quite small, that should not be much of a problem, as the holes go in pretty deep.  The night vision feature (activated by pressing in on the dial) is a bit dim, but has not caused me any problems.

This is my third one of these watches. They last about two years before the battery dies, and by then I've beaten the crap out of them and they're inexpensive enough to warrant replacing instead of a new battery. I'm a paramedic, so my watch is routinely bashed into everything, and apart from the plastic lens, these are remarkably tough (I've broken much more "rugged" watches)

Ironically, this watch gets more comments than any other one I own. people just love it for some reason. I have very small wrists for a man, and the size is still quite well balanced. I love that it has an analog and a digital/stopwatch function with date (oftentimes I need to have two separate times on my mind and that helps) the buttons are large and the controls fairly intuitive, the backlight works well and it's very easy to read.

EXTREMELY comfortable silicon band. no binding or biting points.

Honestly, if fossil made this exact watch, with a little higher build quality, time keeping (this one runs about a minute slow every couple months) crystal face (this one is a pretty tough plastic) i'd pay a hundred bucks happily. For the price, I have zero complaints about it. Is it an omega? of course not. But I'll be damned if it doesn't get more compliments than an omega, and the build quality has always been reliable and solid.

I'm a walking torture test for watches and this is the one I keep coming back to.

Ive has this watch about four days now keeps perfect time. The mechanical movements are very cool the watch since its see-through it glows in the dark!!! it doesnt say that in the description, wind it once every six or seven hours and again before bed it will always keep perfect.  My friends think I have a $300 watch

 The only thing I dislike about the watch is the crown its very small a little hard to grip it to wind

I had bought this a year ago and it has yet to let me down also i am constantly getting comments on it ...every where i go it gets noticed and im being told how much they like it .....this watch is very reliable ....the only fault i have is the fact that it won't self wind no matter how much i move it around but that is ok i wind it myself the leather strap is of very good quality and has yet to break or show signs of wear ....in the past i have always had the problem of watches turning green no matter what the brand they would always turn green and turning my skin green and the metal would blister and peel ....but NOT this watch after having it for a whole year it has never turned nor left green on my skin it has retained its beauty and shine ....very good quality watch and will make a great gift for anyone or yourself no doubt the best investment i have ever made in a watch .

I bought one of these watches 10 years ago, and it has been the most fantastic watch I've ever had. And it has lasted through the fire department, Costco, and my very active lifestyle. I finally managed to break the one that I had, so I immediately purchased a replacement because this is the best watch I've ever owned.

This was bought for my girlfriend who works in veterinary medicine and previous watches always got banged up and scratched. This watch is holding up great. There are a few minor scuffs on the bumpers but not on the face of the watch and also the band has not became discolored like many other watches.

This watch is very good, and I have bought several, they have lasted through a great deal of physical endurance and wear and tear

I get compliments on this unique watch all the time! Very durable, I have been wearing it for over a year now and there are not many signs of wear and tear, which has been an issue with other watch brands I have worn.

This has to be one of the best watches I've owned. Have worn it for over a year and it keeps perfect time.  I have owned Omega, Bulova, Seiko, Gruen and countless other brands but I have had more compliments on this Sturhling watch than any  of the others. It runs on time just as it should and it looks great!

Ive used this watch every single day for 3 yrs now and its definitepy held up well.  The band (silicone) that came with it broke after 2 yrs and now the metal mesh band is breaks by as well.  Ive used the running tracker every day and its always been accurate.  Swimming has been as wel but I haven't used that as much.  Treadmill running was fairly accurate.  Battery life has been sufficient, slowly decreasing over time but still lasts for about a week now.  I lived a n HI for the first two years and it dealt with sand, salt water, you name itnever a problem.  Now Im back in WA and its still running strong.  Best watch for real runners.  I also like seeing calls and texts coming in during meetings in case I have to act on them.

So far this watch has worked great. My partner is a vet tech and has had other watches get damaged quickly. This one is holding up strong. The company also has a lifetime warranty!
