Why this watch?  I want solar.  I want "atomic" time.  In other words I want a solar rechargeable watch that also sets time from Denver automatically.  Is that a problem?  No.  Did I want analog; not and issue, could go either way, but now that I have it, I like it.

Why not 5 stars?  Because we all want the best possible stuff for as inexpensive a price as possible.  This almost has it all.  If it came in gold tone and I could be reasonably sure it would not fail at 30 feet when doing scuba...and got me dates with bikini clad beach bunnies... then it would be 5 stars.  So you get a sense of the criteria...fairly idiosyncratic?  Me like, anyway.
