I stopped wearing it at that time, this watch saw very little abuse. (worn for <18mo.)




On the other side of the coin, the below pictured Tissot Ti touch, has been abused extensively since I purchased it 6 years ago for the sum of about $1100. I bought it for a field watch (oilfield construction & drilling projects) and it has been ten times the watch of the citizen. This T was worn for >4 years and is still in great shape (mechanically speaking) today.


$1100 for an oil field watch? Yowza! My work watch is a $30 timex!
