Tough Watch.
I bought this watch back in 2004 or 2005, can't remember exactly. I've gone through about three sets of batteries on it, and a watch band. The watch itself is tough as nails, it has stood up to daily abuse of work and play since the purchase. The case is very tough, the lens resists a lot of abrasion. It is extremely convenient while out on some unfamiliar route somewhere and compliments a topographic map nicely. I have noticed though, just like most all other barometric devices, that it needs calibration from time to time. Overall an excellent watch, though dated a bit now by the newer solar models available.
