So far I really like this watch.  I was a little afraid that it would be too bulky, but that has not been and issue at all.  It is on the large side compared to the timex ironman watches I have had in the past, but not so large as to look funny or feel strange.

I chose this one over the Mudman g9000 because of the solar power and atomic clock features.  If you don't care about either of these, I would go with the 9000 because it has a slightly better interface and is cheaper.

I am the kind of nerd that loves the idea that my watch is within a fraction of a second of the offical atomic clock time.  For me that makes this watch worth the extra $40.
