I have the non-solar eSports (which I snagged off a Slickdeal a while back). Honestly, I forget it needs charging until the bitter end and it goes from almost-dead to full in no time. Great rugged watch with amazingly long battery life.

Getting direct sunlight will charge it slowly (1-2% per hour) but I think the solar on these are supposed to just keep it from dying super quick when you're using your GPS.
I really like this watch, I wear it every day, and I was thinking about maybe upgrading to the 2X but they don't have a 2X surf yet, and I do like the tide chart feature.

If you really want to save money try to grab the non-solar esports one for $110 and see if you like it.
