Title: Another watch band/face compliant
Product review: The watch mechanism itself is great, but if I can't wear it on my wrist, it's useless. Although it looks good at first, the cheap plastic that holds the face to the strap gets worn out, stretches, and then eventually doesn't hold onto the face and buttons any longer. I wear this watch only to the gym, so I put it on and take it off 4-5 times a week, which is apparently too much stress for the watch band. Because the band is such an intricate part of the design-- the side buttons are incorporated into it-- it can't be replaced. I have to get a new watch.I've had $9.99 Casios that lasted 10 years... For $35, I think this watch should last a lot longer than the year or so I've gotten out of it. Very poor design by Timex. (Though very clever that this design flaw is not covered under the warranty.) Two stars instead of 1 because it was a 5 star item for about 6 months.
