I bought this for my 10 year old son a year ago, and it still works well and has held up fine despite him using it while swimming, playing football, biking, etc. Since he is a kid and we are not hunters I can't say how much this watch would help hunters (over the standard watch, that is), but it does freature several alarms which can be set to vibrate, had be lit in the dark, and has the phases of the moon on the clockface. My son loves the band; it is comfortable and soft yet sturdy. In fact, I am thinking about buying one for myself. People have complained about the weakness in the bands, well, my son wears his 24/7 and we have yet to see a problem. The clockface is large without being overwhelming and can be easily read (unlike "fashionwatches" which require a microscope).All said, this is a fantastic watch for the athlete/outdoor enthusiast in your life. Great price too!
