I bought this watch 2 years ago from REI on sale. So far the watch has held up well to the abuse of winter,rain,heat and me! Does everything I want it to do(yes you do need to remove it from your wrist and let it sit to get a "true" temp reading but.....YOU HAVE TO DO IT WITH ANY watch that has this option)The watch face is LARGE and if you have a smaller wrist you might not like the fit. It feels solid(a little heavy?)and the band is great(Much nicer than the one on my Casio Pathfinder)And gotta love the analog face...looks great at a great price! Just wish it was solar powered......
