Title: The watch is durable, but the nice looks fade fast
Product review: I bought this as a low-cost diver's watch. The 200 m rating, easy-to-read display, and Velcro strap give it the versatility to wear on the boat, in the pool or scuba diving. I'm happy to report that the watch still works fine after six months of wear and a week of diving. But it looks as if it's ten years old. The decorative trim on the wrist strap started to crack and decompose after two or three hours in salt water. The finish on the grey plastic case has also started to chip. I haven't babied the watch, but I haven't abused it either (running across bricks or concrete, for example). I'm disappointed that a watch marketed for being rugged has proven to be such a wimp.
