I expect this watch to last many, many years.  For some reason, it seems to be very difficult for me to find a watch that has all the features I need/want.

What I needed:  digital, sweat friendly plastic band for running, stopwatch, countdown timer, sturdy.

What I wanted:  solar, countdown repeat timer.

This one gave me everything except the countdown repeat function.  That doesn't seem to exist on any solar powered watch from any brand.

Positives:
Intuitive function menus.  Readable display with a useful backlight.  Atomic auto time setting is novel and appreciated - I will never have to change a battery and never have to set the time myself.  It is always right.  Very comfortable when running.  Very lightweight considering size.

Negatives:
Size is a bit thinker than I prefer but I have small wrists for a guy.  The recessed buttons cannot be used with gloves - cold weather dwellers be aware - and are difficult to push bare fingered.  But this could be a plus if you worry about accidentally pushing a button.  Would really like a repeat timer but I couldn't find that feature on any solar powered watch.

Overall:  I would buy it again.
