As the title says, it is a decent watch for a nurse. A nurse washes his/her hands multiple times a shift and a wrist-watch is a potential fomite. Having a watch clipped to your shirt is easier and it prevents transmission of germs.

One downfall of the watch is that if you have to wear an isolation gown, the watch is under the gown.

The glow in the dark face is pretty bright at night.

It gets three stars because the chain was put on backwards – the face of the watch would only hang facing me instead of away from me – one cannot see the watch if the face of the watch is against your body. I had to perform minor surgery. I had to take pliers (which I padded with several layers of electrical tape to prevent scratching the watch) and I had to pry apart the first link (the biggest one) – where it attaches to the pin (there is an opening under the part where it attaches to the pin that you cannot see, but it is there). I then reversed the pin and squeezed the link back together. Now the watch hangs with the face away from me.

I had some issues when the pin bent and the watch fell off of me a couple of times until I was able to bend the pin back to the spot so it did not fall off anymore. Unfortunately one of the times it fell off, the face cracked – but it still worked fine.

I got this as a gift Christmas of 2007. The battery just died yesterday – so it lasted two years.

I will probably just get a new battery for it. The crack is not bad at all.
