So far, great for the money, but don't expect miracles in optics clarity.
I have had many different scopes over the years. Does this scope compete with $600+ scopes. No it does not. The optics quality just isn't there. However, I have reasonable expectations for the price, and I'd say this scope meets those expectations and maybe even exceeds. I put this scope on a Kel-Tec KS7 shotgun. I debated on some sort of red dot for quick target acquisition, but at the same time I wanted something with a little zoom if I decided to use it for slugs during deer season. This fit that roll perfectly. So far all I have done is sight it in with slugs. the lenses didn't blow out the front of the scope when running 3" magnum slugs, and seems to hold it's zero. The clicks seems positive, but I can't attest to how accurate each click is or how repeatable they are. I'm not too worried about those things considering I'm probably never going to take it out past 50 yards, and will probably never sight it in for anything else. So long as this scope can survive being on a shotgun, then I will remain very happy with it.

Great antennas for ease of use and cost effectiveness
I ordered 2 of these antennas. One for 2m/70cm and the other for MURS/GMRS. I couldn't be more pleased with how easy they are to put together. You can get fancy with it, but just uncoiling the wire and sticking it in the PVC worked well for testing. I plan on coming up with a way very soon to keep just a tiny amount of tension on the end of the antenna inside the tube to make sure as summer gets closer that the coax doesn't get warm and more flexible and fold over on itself inside the tube. I don't think it would, but I'd feel better about it.
Getting the PVC was super easy considering the Lowes and Menards SKUs are listed. I looked it up on my local Lowes website and it even gave me the isle number and bin location. I was in and out in 5 minutes for a cost of $2.18+tax for a 10 ft piece. Which was perfect for making both antennas out of one piece of PVC.
I live in an apartment with a strict "NO ANTENNA" Policy. I'm on the second floor and I have a partly enclosed balcony. Since there are no ground radials, I was able to mount both antennas straight to the exterior wall on my side of the balcony, so neither antenna can be seen from outside my apartment. I was worried that the SWR might be high considering they are pressed directly against a wall (Wall is made of wood paneling inside and plywood and plastic siding for the outside). Across both antennas and all 4 bands, my highest SWR is 1.7 and that is on GMRS. If I move the antennas a foot or so away from the wall the SWRs are almost completely flat across all 4 bands. I highly recommend this antenna. I searched all over the internet for weeks for antenna ideas and manufactures. I am confident I made the right choice for the cost and simplicity. Stop browsing around for a better deal and making things more complicated than it has to be. Just get one!
I'm now planning on getting one of the roll up versions before my next backpacking trip!
Oh, and worth noting. I used Lowes SKU 75749 for the PVC clamps to mount the antennas to the wall. That sku is for the 20 pack. They might be available as singles, but at $3.28 I didn't even bother to look around.

Most featues and a nice rugged look!
I looked at MANY watches for weeks trying to find one that I liked. Solar powered was #1 priority. I hate changing batteries in a watch. It seems like such a simple task, but it ends in disaster. When I put on a watch, it stays on. From swimming, to showers, to dirty dishes, it has to deal with a lot water and dirt. On more than one occasion, changing a battery in a watch that has been worn for a year or more results in a watch that is no longer water proof. Small amounts of dirt, dust, soap scum, and other grime break the seal when you put the watch back together. Than the next time you end up with your watch totally submerged, it kills it. I am hoping that, considering this watch is solar charged, that I wont have to worry about that for longer than my previous watches. If I can send this watch off to Casio when the time comes to replace the rechargeable battery, I will be more than happy to pay for that.
I love the features of this watch. I didn't even know it has a sunrise/sunset display until after I had it. You set your longitude and latitude and it bases it on that. So, it's pretty accurate.
It has an altimeter and a barometer. I have a feeling people who are thinking about buying this watch have a WAY too high expectation for the altimeter and barometer. Without a GPS, the only way any device can gauge either it's altitude or barometric pressure is by air pressure. Which means if you are in a car and driving up a hill, the pressure will decrease quickly, making readings very inaccurate. There is no magical way around this. That's just how it is. When you are stationary, it is surprisingly accurate. It does exactly what it is meant to do. Any smart phone can be used to gauge your altitude. You don't need cell service or even have the phone activated to do that. Once you know your altitude you can key that into the watch and it will, with surprising accuracy, monitor the barometric pressure. A steady drop in pressure usually means poor weather is on the way, while a steady increase usually means better weather. Without any cell service, this is a fairly good way of giving you a heads-up on the weather while backpacking or camping.
It has multiple separate alarms. That is a BIG plus to me. I like being able to use my watch as an alarm. Like I said before, when I put a watch on, it stays on. I can't forget it or leave it in another room. It also has a snooze for the alarms. I personally don't use snooze, but it's there. I would NOT count on this watch to get me up in the morning!!!! If you sleep on dense pillows, like memory foam pillows, you probably wont wake up if your wrist is under the pillow and your head on top.
If you have never had an "atomic" watch, do not expect it to update manually during the day. There is only one radio tower in the entire united states that broadcast the signal to update atomic clocks. It operates at a really low frequency, and the lower a frequency something is, the more it is affect by inference from the sun and electronics. I am from central Ohio and it usually updates the time between 1 and 3 AM.
Some people said with it's inverted display, it is hard to see. I would say this is only a little true. Compared to a regular display, it is not as easy from every angle to read. However, if it strapped to your wrist, it is more than easy to read. In low light, you might have to actually hit the backlight button to read it. But who cares? It's solar charged anyways. Seems very easy to keep it fully charged. Winter might be a little different when I'm wearing more coats and long sleeve shirts than I do now in the summer. Again, only time will tell. I suspect that even in the winter, with just a slight amount of effort, I will be able to keep the watch fully charged by just exposing it to sunlight on my way to and from work.
I really like the look of this watch. The bezel is not as dark as the google images search shows. It's like a brushed titanium. So, depending on the light it can look dark, or fairly bright. If you want a watch that isn't too massive, insanely expensive, won't need charged every day like a smart watch, and still has a nice rugged look and features, this is a great option!
You will have a hard time finding a watch that has this many features for the price, even when comparing other Casio watches
Only time will tell will how durable this watch is, but so far it's met or exceeded all my expectations and I couldn't be more happy with my decision!
