I love the look of this watch and get many comments on it (and its predecessor that got run over.) I have had two Lego watches before this and both were perfectly waterproof, for swimming anyway. But this one showed a bit of condensation inside its glass one cold winter's day after swimming so now I avoid wearing it in the pool. I would return it but I still have one of the old ones to wear swimming and I love the readability of this watch. The white hands on its large blue face are great for my aging eyes.
What is not obvious at first sight is that the links on these "adult" size watches are almost twice as long as those on the childrens watches and there are not many spare links in the box (but they do include two small links to help with size adjustment.) This means that you are limited as to how many color patterns you can make for the strap. But the links from all the Lego watches are interchangeable so I have simply added some from other watches that I own.
Also the plastic links can get brittle and break after many years of use, while the watch is still going strong. And eventually the links wear a little which allows the bracelet to snap open if you are rough with it - as in trying to take off a jacket with elasticated cuffs while sitting in the car. Unavoidable even with the best quality plastic, but a pity.
One point about assembling the links: until I found the knack I really struggled with this. You need to make sure that the pieces are at 90deg to each other before trying to insert the bar into the hook. Then it is easy because the bar is thinner at that angle.
Overall this is a good watch and I love the look of it and its versatility. But it is not perfect, hence 4 stars.Buy LEGO Midsize Classic Blue Watch #340807!
