It is exactly what I wanted. Waterproof, comfortable on the hand because it is lightweight and the strap is soft, it has the familiar ABC functions that the Protrek watches have. Personally, I use the sunrise/sunset, the timers, the thermometer (you take it off your hand for 20 minutes to show correctly), and the alarms, especially the hourly notification. Because it is solar-powered, there is no issue with battery replacement, charging, etc.

This is the fourth solar Protrek watch that I have purchased in the last 10 years. I bought them not because I needed them, but out of consumerism because I really like them as watches. They all still work great and are in excellent condition, even their batteries are working normally, I haven't changed them.

I don't go hiking or mountaineering, but I do a lot of work in the garden at my country house and the watches often get wet and muddy. Also, I don't take it off when I go to the sea, I just rinse it off from the salt afterwards. So far, none of my Protrek watches have had any issues. I hope this one turns out well too.

I bought this particular one because it is considerably smaller than the others I have, so I can wear it to the office with a shirt. The screen is easy to read, with 1.5 degrees of presbyopia, and I have no issues. The few days that I wear it, I am thrilled.
