I love it. I go my first one many years ago, and to be honest, the first three or so were big problems. Stopped running, a lot of times. Took to local service. They tried lots of things, including changing the battery a few times, changing the movement once I think, then, it died again. Bummer, so, the local people sent it off to the home office. Was gone a month!!! But, when it came back it was like new, and, it might have been, but, that was a long time ago, and now I have been wearing it religiously for many happy years. I think I have had maybe two battery changes since it was returned to me. I wear it almost everywhere, except in the hot tubs. Local shop said it was best to keep it out of hot tubs, but, it has been in a few and in dry saunas and steam rooms, etc, and still works great. I have worn it around the world a couple of times and from the artic circle to the tip of South America. To tell you how long I have worn this watch, I bought it when it costs 75 or 85 dollars! Long time ago.. I wear it every day, everywhere. Love it... So, yes, I recommend it. And, if you get one that is not so perfect, as I did at first, I believe the company will make it right, as they did mine!!!!
