Great watch!

We bought this watch for my daughter‘s boyfriend‘s birthday. He absolutely loves it! The solar charging is amazing. He never has to charge it. GPS and coordinate finder are perfect for him because he’s always out on the water. It also has a tide chart which he uses as well. It’s amazing all the cool stuff it does !
