I've worn this watch every day for a little over three years.
It's a great tool. The solar charging capability is really great if you're outside on the job a lot. My battery has lasted for up to a month with decent sun exposure over a couple of weeks. Very durable and pretty lightweight.
One issue I have with the watch is that the battery drains extremely fast when PulseOx is on (only lasted 3 days), and I think it should run longer if needed. If you don't need to monitor your blood oxygen you can turn this feature off.
Two of my colleges and I purchased this watch at the same time, and we are all at a point where we have either replaced them or need replacements. Garmin does a refurbish exchange program for a fee. One of my colleagues sent his watch in for a swap two months ago and hasn't received a replacement yet. I am hesitant about sending mine in.
Overall it's a good watch, but I expected it to last longer knowing Garmin's durability standards.
