I bought this as a wear at work watch (diesel technician) but now I wear it everywhere! I'm telling its worth more than they're selling it as. Water proof dirt proof hell life proof.

I Purchased this in January and I'm already on the second one. My son purchased his at the same time, and has been through both of them. He is an adult and wears his watch to work in an office type environment. I work in an office too! There is no unusual wear to the watches. There is just a poor design. The problem is the watch face isn't entirely flat. It has sloped edges. The corners start to peel, and then it looks like the watch is defective. The watch looks so bad you just have to remove the protection cover. It worked fine for a month and a half. If anyone has found a better solution please feel free to contact me. I'm going to see how the lifetime warranty works. I'll let you know if they really send me a new one for $1.99 shipping fee. I just received the warranty replacement. It arrived quickly and for the shipping fee of $1.99. I guess it won't be to inconvenient to just keep getting a replacement every three to four months. It looks great when it's new! I will update you as needed.

Not very pleased with this watch, I gave it 4 stars for the fact that it is a stout watch but the black trim around the bezel chipped within a month of purchase and has just continued to, this does not seem to effect the use at all. I do wash my hands many times with this one being it was purchased for work and I work in healthcare but not pleased with the durability of that trim ring.

UPDATE TO PRIOR REVIEW: Battery just went out on this product.  Had it 7 months, so I guess we're short of the 10-year battery by 9 years and 5 months.  Cost to send back and get work done is not even worth it.  I'll buy a watch at a Big Box.  When you spend less than $20 on a watch, you get what you paid for.

--------------------------------------

I just bought this and I really like this watch, but to have this as an Alarm or adjusting it is laborious.  Just look at the Owners Manual and you have to click 4x here to get 5 adjustments there....a pain, but for $20 and to see a plastic banded watch that looks like a good business watch and can be used for casual events, I really like it.  I just want to see how long this battery lasts as most expensive watches have a disappointing 1-2 year life and I'd really love to see this last more than 2 years.  Heck, I bought a watch at a cheap department store 7 years ago and that watch still is ticking.....

Nice classy digital watch I can wear with anything. Works well. Backlight sucks (short burst, not very bright) but I did not buy this watch for that function. It works for keeping time and stopwatch. Metal is not heavy like most male watches so it may feel "cheap". I'm a female of average build and it doesn't look ridiculous when I wear it so I deem it unisex. Chains are not removable but I don't mind. $16, female version is more expensive for no discernible reason.
Update: Went to the pool and swam a few laps yesterday. Showered with it. No signs of rust or condensation inside the watch. The water resistance works! I'm not a good owner so I've already gotten some scratches on the straps. Not very noticeable but definitely there. Fortunately the face seems to be more scratch resistant.

The watch was good while it lasted. I work in a lumber yard so toughness was very high on the list. As was brightness in low light setting. The best part about the watch is the Tritium inserts, they provide a very effective and identifiable way to tell time at night. The bezel has tight lockup, and the crown is well protected. The only problems I had with it are that I had to replace the pin the holds the watch band on twice during (my) regular use, that being occasionally whacking it against steel racking during my daily routine. But the main reason I stopped wearing it was that after I replaced the pin for a second time I accidentally hit it again on some steel and not only did the pin fall out again, but the FACE of the watch came out. Not kind of popped out of place. It fell OFF. It fell out of the case and hit the ground. After that I decided it was time to put the old girl to bed.

Other than that. It was a good watch. Very light weight, Very Bright.

One thing to mention is that the clasp is kind of unique in that it doesn't have the typical 1 prong that rests through the holes on the band but 2 side by side. So on the band there are two parallel sets of holes running down instead of one.

All in all, I got my money out of it. I think I'm going to try a Reactor watch because they use a steel rod with no springs, instead of a sprung pin.

my girlfriend bought me this watch and i love it, but my work environment isn't very suitable for watches so it sits in my pocket a lot (with my keys). the band has suffered a bit of damage (all cosmetic) but still holds strong, and the face of the watch seems to be the most scratch/scuff resistant.

update: I forgot about this review or I would've updated it earlier, but about 3 weeks after I got the watch the battery died, so we got it replaced. I don't know if it was the watch or the guys who repaired it, or just the construction of the watch itself, but it crapped out hard. Changed the battery again and still nothing, then the second hand fell off somewhere between changes. It sits in my closet somewhere now since I have given up on it

I bought this stopwatch to use at work where I have to do a lot of timing things. For that purpose it works very well. It also maintains accurate time very well also. Been using it every day for 2.5 months now and it hasn't lost or gained one second. My cheap one I bought at Wal-Mart last year would lose about a second or two a day. Only gripes I have is there is no alarm clock feature, or at least I have not been able to figure it out.

I love the style of this watch; works for both office and weekend.  Watch has a nice heft without being heavy, and the strap is comfortable.  Three stars only, however, due to performance:  I've used the watch for less than a year under normal conditions and recently have had three episodes in which the watch lost substantial chunks of time, falling behind by 30-45 minutes.  Most recently, I saw that the second hand "stuck" at 12, ticking but not advancing until I gave the watch a whack to get it moving again.  Now I find myself checking the watch against other clocks to make sure it isn't losing time again, which is the opposite of the reason I wear a watch.  Writing this review now because I came to Amazon to buy a replacement, and it probably won't be another Vestal.

I received this watch as a graduation present after picking it out. Really wanted a nice black watch and this one fit the bill. the first month was perfectly fine and had no complaints, actually received a couple of compliments on this gorgeous watch. Then everyday use came in.

I work at an office job and as such the bottom of my watch is in constant contact with my desk. after a while the bottom of the watch has been worn off and the silver metal now shows (not to mention my desk has this black smear on it). I have worn watches before and that has never happened at my desk.

It sucks because I REALLY like this watch and citizen watches (this is my 3rd), but this is probably my last one. I'll send it in for repair once the gifter sends me the receipt.

Beautiful watch, just don't wear it if your at a desk job.

I liked the look of this watch, but I managed to break the time setting dial off after just a few weeks of use.  I wore this watch in a very normal (to me) manner.  The watch wasn't babied, but I was also not bashing it against walls or anything.

Also, it's worth noting that the tick is fairly loud.  If the watch is on the other side of the room at night, you will still hear it.

I was looking for a watch for work that wasn't my good dress watch.  I  chose this one because of price ($20) and Casio as a brand.  The face is bit smaller than I wanted BUT not a deal breaker.  Love Casio, would buy one any day.

I bought this watch to wear both to work and for a more dressed up look at social events, weddings, etc.  From the very beginning I noticed the watch loses time every day.  There are no batteries to change, it works by the motion it senses.  So if it is inactive for a period of time, you have to keep resetting the time, otherwise it will be 5 to 10 minutes late if not more.
Almost everyone is now carrying a cell phone, which provides the time of day, so it is not vital to have a watch.  Buy this one for the decorative element, it is very attractive and I have received many compliments.  However, you won't always be on time if you are relying solely on this watch.

I bought this watch a couple of years ago for my birthday.  I don't wear a watch much so when the battery died within 6 months of having the watch I didn't think to much of it.  Went to the jewelry store and had it replaced.  Not even a year later the battery died again.  I had it replaced.  In 6 months it died again.  So the jeweler had their watch repair person take a really good look at it.  The conclusion was that there is something wrong with the watch and I would need to return it to the manufacturer to get it repaired or replaced.  Unfortunately I no longer have my receipt or the box it came in so I am out of luck.

I will say it is a beautiful watch if you want to wear it as a piece of jewelry and don't care if it actually works.

I bought this watch in the all-lavender model.  My use for  this watch is strictly to tell  time, no marathons being run here.  I chose this watch because I liked the color and LOVE  Indiglo watches.  I bought this  watch even though I saw that it did not show the seconds (for lack of a better term), which is  more handy than I thought.  Instead, it has this little line that runs underneath the hour and minute display that shows time elapsing, but no numbers.  The watch does have a stopwatch, timer and  alarm features but I never use them.  One thing that is a bit disappointing is that the silver rim, right outside of the plastic watch face is had all but worn off after a few month's use.  I can see that  eventually it will just be the lavender  of the watch band, which is fine, but it should have just been that way to begin with.

For my next Indiglo watch I would get one that shows the time, including the seconds.  But it is a cute watch, and innexpensive so I don't worry about losing it.

I bought this watch as my first automatic. I was not able to handle it in person before buying, so I was pleased that it seems to wear small on my wrist. After 2 days, the watch is running about -6 or 7 secs, so that's about -3 or 4 seconds per day. I plan to add a metal Seiko 22 mm band to dress it up a little, but the included rubber strap is utilitarian and comfortable.

I've had this watch for years.  Long enough ago, I don't even remember when I bought it.  It has been an everyday work watch (construction), worn hunting, showering, beating around the yard, etc...  Judging from some of the epoxy I have stuck on the band, I would guess I've had it six years, but I could be mistaken.

It keeps good time, I never have to adjust it between DST and Standard Time changes.

It is small, but not feminine looking, and I like that because I'm not always snagging it at work.  If you have wrists over 8-8.5" though, it will not fit.  I have 8.5" ish wrists, and wear it on the second hole.

Some reviewers have complained about the glass scratching easily.  I would agree with that to an extent, but it's a $14 watch.  As scuffed as it is, I think I've gotten much more than my money's worth, considering the abuse I've handed it.

Do not expect much from the luminous hands, unless you need to know the time within 30 seconds of leaving a brightly lit room.

It's a simple, smaller sized work watch.  At $14, I would recommend it to anybody.
