Got this about 4 years ago, and at first thought it was neat, but wouldn't last. It's now on its third battery, and has yet to give me any trouble. I'll admit that I don't use most of the functions, but the times that I have checked them against accurate sources, they have been amazingly close. I wear this watch to work, and though it's been exposed to everything under the sun (including gasoline) and bashed against everything, it still functions. My only complaint is that the mode button on the front is easy to accidentaly hit.

I have had the watch for about 8 years. Time keeping--excellent. Weather based on variations of barmetric pressure--okay. Finish: For the first 3 years, I did a lot of outside work with a lot of sweating. Appearance is now rough and worn. However, all functions on the watch still work. I replaced the band after about 3 years. Calendar does not recognize leap year. I had to set the year as 2014 to get the day of the week right.

Gives you much more than the time. Is a conversation starter. One-up-manship essential. Ultimate science nerdyness. The complete outdoors man.
