Bracelet Material very poor

First: MMIR like this clock is still very good, design and comfort are quite high. I have worn the clock about 1 year, then suddenly broke up the bracelet, easily torn / broken on both sides. This was very disappointing, and then added is more, the battery was also more or less empty at this time, or at least stopped the analog clock and the lights no longer worked. Actually, yes both futile problems, but unfortunately, unfortunately, the bracelet is not without company and thus this bracelet must exactly be bought - ~ 40!

The problem of many others here with the heavily scratched Uhrenglas I can not understand the way. Have until now only normal, so weak scratches in it, although I have the clock really worn 24/7 and not only under the sweater or something. (Corsica holiday implies rocks, sand, sun, salt water - the clock has survived this, the bracelet does not.)

In conclusion therefore quite unfortunate the clock, but if you so often the bracelet / must replace the battery, which goes some way into the money.
