What twilight zone did I walk into where this is a good life choice?

Is that your watch? Do you like it? I've been thinking about getting one. Does it have good support for fitness and sleep tracking (Google Fit sync, too)?
Really love this Casio GW-M5610.
It's been through hell and back with me. Salt water, swamp water. Sweat, blood. I got in a major cycling accident a year ago, landed right on the watch, and it came out with only a tiny scratch on the face. Some of the stainless steel on the back has got rust spots from the perpetual soaking of sweat and the band has a constant layer of sunscreen runoff. But damn do I love this thing.
It's solar so I've never had to replace the battery. It receives the correct time from a radio signal so it's never inaccurate and I've never had to set it.
I thought we weren't allowed to post consumer review or consumer recommendation threads.

I...
* never have to re-set it
* only charge it half as often as you would wind a mechanical
*get to see weather, texts, set alarms, emails, etc
* never have to get it repaired
As someone who used to own a mechanical and stopped using it, I think it's good.

It's great. I can't speak to fitness tracking, but the very most basic functionality (all phone notifications, time, alarms, timers, and weather) works great, and after 4 months, I have yet to find a single bug.
Got this last week. Pretty ok, kinda expecting androidwear to be more mature by now, but it all seems just so... beta... And 3rd party apps rarely work. Oh well, atleast it looks good, and ot's good for the basic stuff.
