I have now owned this watch for almost 12 months - It has served me well as my daily wearer, taken it's fair share of knocks, and crud. I have also taken it flying in light aircraft, and the altimeter (on my copy at least) is pretty accurate, and I find the countdown timer useful also for fuel check warnings. The screen is a little harder to read in darker conditions than a normal (positive) LCD, but is great in daylight. The backlight is excellent, especially in auto mode. The problems with Batteries does seem to be a quality control thing. Mine is OK so far - although the power level dropped this week, probably due to the darker nights, and me wearing long sleeves in the colder weather and thus blocking the solar cell. I just left the watch under some studio lighting for several hours and it's now back to fully charged - we'll see how long that lasts!
In conclusion, I would probably buy a normal (grey) screen watch, not a negative LCD for readability - and due to the battery issues, I'd probably go for a normal battery powered watch until these issues have cleared up.

I'm on my 2nd Tough Solar (my first is a G-Shock Solar, bought my partner a Protrek Tough Solar series).
Functioned well until they bought died on us (mine after a year, my partner's a bit lucky as it went out after 2 years) My mates had similar experiences as well.
Both of us are outdoors athletes and we're mostly on the trail 75% of the month, which should charge our Casios with no hassles at all. Brought them back to Casio and the staffs were just mum about it when we mentioned the weak charges and "recovery" issues. They suggested that they replace them with new batteries but will cost me 80% of the watch's price!
So I bought another Casio TS but died on me again after 8 months despite following every rule from Casio's recharging procedures.
On Casio's defence, I believe not all Tough Solar are duds. My thoughts on these are probably not all watches went to strict quality control when they rolled out the production line. I believe most of their solar panels are faulty.
Advice: stick to watches with regular batteries because replacement batteries for these TS's cost a bomb! And TS's aren't perfected yet. Let's just wait after a few years as rumour has it that Casio is planning to release a "new generation" solar panels due to quite a number of complaints with their current models.
