I have owned this watch for over three years and it has never failed me. It looks good enough for dress ocassions yet is durable enough for every day life. It has always kept good time and still looks new. I dont always wear it and it sits on my coffee table for long periods of time with only minimal light. It has still never lost time. The only detractors are the fact that there is no perpetual calander so every so often you have to set the date (months with less than 31 days). The main reason I only gave this watch four stars is the band is a hair puller. It is a minor nuisance but it is constant. I though about changing the band but I really like the looks of this band and the clasp is ingenious. It holds very well and does not come open until you are ready to take it off which is easily done by pressing two side buttons. So overall I am very happy although I may have to shave my wrist.

I have had this watch for 4 years. It was a gift from my wife one Christmas when we still had money. During my career as a Letter Carrier I always wore $12 Casios because I had a habit of smashing the crystals. The G-Shock lasted the longest. This Eco-Drive is the finest watch I have ever owned. As a retiree, I can wear it for any occasion and every day. Only one tiny problem I have is that I can't read the day of the month. A magnifier would have been nice, but I don't need to know the date anyway. I really don't get out that much, so occaisionally I will put it under a light for a while, but it really doesn't seem to need it. It has not stopped or even lost a half a minute since I got it.

My previous watch was this TIMEX flix watch that I received as a gift many years ago. It was a great watch, but I was tired of replacing batteries everytime my watch died, which was every two years. Also, I never had anything elegant enough to wear with a suit for any formal events.
I bought this watch for myself back in the middle of March for an amazing price. It was my first real analog watch. In terms of aesthetics, it goes with anything I wear. The two-tone color scheme was a good choice for me. The gold color dresses it up for any formal occasion, while the silver color dresses it down for a casual occasion. The very dark blue dial is nice to look at as well. Plus, the rechargeable battery inside is guaranteed for 5 years.
The band itself is made out of stainless steel, which is quite nice. I like the locking mechanism -- quick to put on and take off. I was afraid that the band would pull on the hairs on my arm; luckily, it doesn't at all. Because it is stainless steel, it will probably corrode in the presence of salt water. So if you take it into the ocean or sweat a lot, it's good to rinse it off now and then. There's a little protective sticky thin layer of plastic on the back face of the watch, which can be peeled off to reveal a very shiny back plate. Because the bands of all of my previous watches were made out of rubber, I was used to getting flexibility in the band. In contrast, with this particular watch, the band is stiff at the top and bottom of the band. At first it bothered me because I wasn't used to it, but after a couple days wear, I actually prefer it over flexible bands, for the watch face stays in place on a single side of my arm.
In two months time, many superficial scratches have appeared on the band, which I suspect is from constant rubbing against a metal button on a jacket. This is to be expected, for the band is constructed from stainless steel, which scratches easily. However, the face cover is made from a scratch-resistant mineral, which so far is completely spotless -- not a single scratch to be found.
In terms of precision, quartz movement is accurate for ±15 seconds within a month. With my watch, I calibrated it 2 months ago according to http://www.time.gov/ . It gained approximately 20 seconds over a 2 month period, which is well within the tolerance for quartz movement. I'm quite satisfied with it.
It doesn't have a perpetual calendar, meaning that it always cycles through 31 days, but it's easy enough to set the correct day if needed. The hands on the dial have some sort of fluorescent coating on them -- meaning that it glows in the dark for a several hours, with the intensity of the light gradually decreasing over time.
In short, I really like this watch. I like how the face is not huge and doesn't stand out immediately. The face size and band size fit my frame well (I'm 5'7"). It tells the time, and it's fairly accurate. The two-tone color allows me to wear it for any occasion, and it's not terribly expensive compared to the many other brands out there. Overall, I'm very satisfied and would not hesitate to recommend this watch to anyone.
