I just wanted to add a positive review to help out anyone still wondering about purchasing this watch and still on the fence due to the numerous bad reviews it has received. The watch works great, fits great, and looks normal enough that I can wear it to work and other places when I'm not running. If you're worried about the reports of the bezel not operating when the watch is wet, I'd say don't worry about it: you can start and stop the watch with the top button and that's pretty much all you need to do while you're running. I lock the bezel 99% of the time, including while I'm running, to prevent accidental taps from changing the mode. It's as simple as that. If you find yourself needing to tap and swipe the bezel to get more information than current time, distance, and pace *while* you're running, maybe it's time to concentrate more on running and less on the gadgets you are using to help you run!Garmin 010-00658-12 Forerunner 405 with ANT+ Sport Wireless Technology (Green)
