I'm quite happy with this watch. I bought it after I broke my last watch while trying to replace the batteries, so the solar power was the most important feature for me. It has multiple alarms and a countdown timer, which I use frequently. The "atomic time" feature (radio reception of time signal) works well for me at home on the West Coast, but did not work on recent visits to New York City and Florida. As others have mentioned, the temperature is not accurate while you are wearing the watch. You will need a special tool (or a visit to a jeweler/locksmith) to adjust the band initially.
