The appeal for me is that mine is solar as well. So, it requires zero maintenance for years and years until that capacitor or whatever dies. It's also basically indestructible.

I have metal brackets that screw into the resin body so it takes regular nato straps, so I don't need to worry about replacement straps. I've basically dipped this thing in paint on accident before, and it just peels off the resin. I wear it to the beach, where I have previously gotten sand under my rotating bezels.

I wouldn't say it's a particularly good looking watch, but I love it for dirty, abrasive, impacting, tough situations. Situations where I'd scratch a metal watch or crystal.
