The watch itself worked fine for about 6 months, which is when the band broke. This, of course, renders the watch worthless. I expect a plastic/rubber watch band to last years, not months. None of the local jewelers/watch repair places could replace the band. Someone else said in their review that they got their watch repaired (the band broke, of course) by Timex via mail for $7.00, but why pay $7.00 to have a clearly defective product "fixed"? Unless you have money to burn, do not buy this watch.

I purchased this watch just prior to a deployment to Afghanistan (I am a US Army officer). Upon returning, the watch battery died--for a total run time of less than six months! I discovered that the battery was drained by buttons sticking. Shortly after replacing the battery, buttons began sticking again. WHAT A HORRIBLE DESIGN! I am going back to the "traditional" IronMan that's worked for the past five years. After making this decision, I disected the watch to try and fix the button stick problem. NO luck. Timex, PLEASE go back to the drawing board on this one. What a waste of $69.
