This clock shows precise, always reliable and very clearly mark the time. It is indeed waterproof (swimming pool, sauna) and weighs almost nothing, at least compared to a status-laden metalpiece. For about 10 more you get even a date, if you think this is important. At first I had bought for the weight and the price just for running, cycling and gardening - now I have them almost always. The plastic case should not be underestimated: Japanese perfection - waterproof and very robust! The only drawback for one or another non-Japanese paw: the bracelet is too small for strong wrists may. The Japanese have just put their body as a benchmark. Since I am well versed with the cost calculation of all possible products, me this clock is a prime example of tough discipline and calculation incl throughout the value. Trade. For me it came to Pries below 10 very neatly packed within one business day free shipping with DHL. The production site is China - so another route and tied-up capital. If you now the development costs, a provision for warranty and the manufacturer's profit expectations and by one or two levels of trade still stipulates a stay for the material and the pure production maximum of a few cents. All this can only work if the numbers high, the design and the tools always remained the same and already written off, and the engineers and marketing people have not come every few months with changes. Reduced to the bare essentials and discipline in all areas. Of this you can learn. In particular, in boardrooms this clock should therefore be worn more often :).
