We use these for rec-league swim meets. Most of our Robic watches have lasted for many, many years. They're rugged, high quality watches.
Good:
- durable, high quality SW
- right mix of functions, w/o any extra junky features (like time and date, notepad, etc.)
- easy to use (you'd be surprised)
Bad:
- SwimOutlet.com only sells one color.
- not waterproof. A waterproof version does exist, but is not sold here. Waterproof version is same price (or close)
