content: As for longevity I cannot speak - only had it a week. But its a solid watch. Seems very well built to me. Nice to have an analog with the dependability of a digital alarm. Though the leather band is quality I actually replaced the band with a Timex Expedition Fast Wrap for a river trip & I don't think I'll be replacing it any time soon - great band and the 20mm size fits the watch well.Note that despite what some sites say this watch (T45191) allows for tracking 2 timezones and not 3, and the bezel does NOT turn - its a permanent part of the brushed stainless steel case. Fine by me - one less part to break. The watch face also is more grey than black so its a bit lighter than what you see in the photo. As of this writing the cost on this watch is down to $36 but I would have paid the retail $59.95 for it. It really seems to be a solid piece.
