    Great product, the solar power charging is insanely good. Great for hiking, fishing, and even daily use. Rough if you work in construction it can take some hits

    Not a bad watch but it isnt touch screen. Takes awhile to figure out what buttons do what. The solar charging is a plus. It has alot of good features. But if you are looking for something modern that has a touch screen this watch probably isnt for you

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    If you are trying to decide between 45mm and 50mm, go with the 50mm. Solar charging is excellent, I barely have to take off watch let alone put on charge. Very good functions I actually like it is not touch screen.

    It did not come with a manual, and as complex as it is it needs one. I know it is on line, but that requires more work for me, plus I now need my PC to be able to use-learn all the features. It's nice to have a written manual to refer to with out going to a computer. I wasn't aware to use al the features I need to buy apps, it would have nice to be told that up front.
