“Saw this at a local watch store last year and really liked the Milanese mesh. A year later and it is the watch I wear almost every day. The threaded crown is reliable as I have taken it snorkeling and countless times in the swimming pool. I typically take resin watches to the gym, so I can't speak for HEAVY heavy activity, but I am pretty clumsy and have banged the watch up more than a few times with no marks or scratches on the crystal. The orange "never give up" letters on the underside of the bezel are decal, so those did fall off eventually, but otherwise the watch is in the same condition as the day I bought it. Love this watch!”
