    Nice watch. It looks great and don't bother to wear it all day and at night. I use it just as an old-school watch, haven't explored much technical capabilities. I don't see the solar adding much value to the battery charging even though I put in sunlight regularly and the solar intensity is showing good.

    I've really been enjoying this watch. The solar charging is a bit slow to build that battery back up, but everything tracking wise is definitely accurate! I don't have the largest wrist by any means and the fit is spot on and comfortable. I also dig the simplicity of this watch and once you get the hang of the controls it is quick and easy to get where you want to go in it.
