Ronstan Clear Start Watch

This is what happens.

Not only is this watch nearly impossible to set and/or change modes, but it rapidly falls apart. To make matters worse, the band is integral to the case and cannot be replaced.

Don't waste your hard earned $$$.Click image for larger version

huh.
I have never seen one that lasted long enough for the band to break.

Quite heavy, too. Mine has a metal wristband that I have to use my Swiss Army knife to open. My Timex Ironman is light and simple to operate. Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. Switches modes easily. Costs about 1/3 as much as the ClearStart.
