I reset it every couple of months against my atomic clock. It might have gained 5 seconds over several months, which is good enough for me. I don't have a single scratch on the crystal yet either. It looks as perfect as the day I received it. I don't baby the watch, but then I'm not a careless klutz or someone who works in a rough environment either. I have the rubberized band, and unlike other watches I've had, this one shows zero wear - no creasing, tears or any marks or discoloration. The watch could be sold as brand new based on it's looks, even after two years of daily wear. Not that I'd do this. But it has been quite durable.

Note: If you order from LA Police gear like my wife did on this watch, plan on seeing almost daily advertisements from them in your email. I don't know if my wife tried to opt out of this when she ordered. She likes their notifications. But there are a lot of them. It doesn't appear that they share your email with anyone else though.
