I was going back and forth between this one and another gshock.  This is my first, but I love it. I was worried about it being huge on my arm...not the case.  Doesn't seem like an odd fit at all.  Definitely tough.  I like the idea of solar rechargeable and atomic, so this fits perfectly.  I am not a watch abuser, but I like the idea that this can handle being a bit abused if the situation arises.  Buttons are tight, but not that big a deal.  Picks up the atomic frequency every night when I leave it near the window.  Also has a long band, so it fits my fat wrist...and it's comfortable too. One concern is when this watch battery dies.  I am not excited about that, but I guess I will cross that bridge when I get there...hopefully many years from now.  For $100, if I get 4-5 years out of it, I'll be happy.
