I have a very basic one that I wear daily. I've had it for like 9 or 10 years now, and I still wear it everyday. The face is still in excellent condition despite my abuse of it, haha. I can change the straps on mine, and have a few different ones, but I tend to use the black patent strap the most.

Goldengirl, my friend has that in pink!
She said one thing about it is what she thought was the second hand doesn't move, and it's actually not the second hand, but is a timer. Do you know how long yours will time for?
I am looking at that watch but with a brown strap and a rose gold face.
Is that little dial hard to see? I need to use it for timing things while teaching pilates.
OMG those little dials are completely useless to me. One is the date, which I totally can't read. It's not functional, it's just pretty, haha.
That being said, my eyesight is not perfect. I just got my first pair of reading glasses, which I almost never wear, but still those dials are really, really tiny. I wear my sports/running watch for timing, although I only time for taking a pulse (10-15 sec) or for recording the actual time of day, so I would understand if your needs for Pilates might be different. It's also a pretty big watch and I couldn't imagine wearing it during exercise.
Also, I believe the timer would keep going, but since I think it's just that one face that times, so for greater than one minute you'd have to remember how many times it revolves...does that make sense? I don't have it on now or I'd be more helpful....sorry
I have 2 decos , my SIL used do PR for them so she has quite a few. They hold up pretty well. One that I have had for about 4 years and the battery has died 3 times which is alittle annoying but I like that you can change the band.

I have a CSX and a Jelly Bean. I love them both. The CSX is the same size face as the Michael Kors watches but I really like that you can change out the bands. So far I only have a cognac leather one and the silver bracelet but I want black next. I think I recommended the Jelly Bean to you...it has a silicone band that would be good for working out and it's about 1/2 the price of the other ones. Or, they do sell silicone bands for the normal faces. I really want a Deco next, especially because it takes the same 18mm bands that my CSX one does.
