Can you elaborate?
Not a watch guy here, but I thought about getting this one.
Not a watch guy myself, just old enough to know.
Mineral glass crystal is lower quality crystal that will get scratched if worn daily, looks ugly after that. You want sapphire in that price range, or pay bit more to get it
Two way bezel is useless in the task it supposed to do (it is diver watch).
Rubber/silicone band is for cheaper watches too
There inexpensive quartz diver with sapphire albeit is not eco-drive (so swap battery every 2-3 years): https://slickdeals.net/f/17789634-deep-blue-41mm-pro-sea-diver-200-quartz-silicone-strap-watch-69-99?p=173146857#post173146857 (see coupon code in comments)
I personally have my eye on this eco-drive with sapphire and metal band: https://www.amazon.com/Citizen-Ec...00PXVTU5C/

Thanks for the info! I think I am going with a comodity-grade Casio.
As much as I've smashed watches over the years, this is more my style, and for $50 it is hard to beat. Not eco-drive but I can live with replacing a battery every 2 or so years.
I almost bought this watch a while back, but looking at the lug design on the case, I think it would be very hard to find a replacement band for it. I don't think even a NATO strap would work on it.

Basically it's a cheaper watch. Mineral crystal is a notch above plastic, it will scratch but if you had Sapphire crystal (it's not blue) that is super hard to scratch and really only a diamond or really really hard bits can scratch the crystal.
Bezels, mostly go 1 direction, typically a dive watch where you track elapsed time. It only goes one direction since you never want to hit it by accident and change your elapsed time / countdown time.
