I have the clock now 4 months = no scratches. I must, however, criticize the retaining pins of the bracelets: I stayed with the bracelet times "short" somewhere hanging, after a pin was completely bent, and a face of the bracelet hung on "half eight '. Luckily I was able to turn to the original position again, I hope it holds. For the 140 price (even if the clock is cheaper on Amazon), the manufacturer should think of something better to it. For 1 star deduction. Otherwise like the clock me very: simple; flat; not hard = not block the arm.
