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.

The PRG 80 (mine is the green model PRG-80L-3V ) is one of the better looking of the Protrek range. The operation of the various functions with the large buttons is quick and very simple and certainly less complex than my Suunto X Lander. The solar power feature is a definite bonus with this range and I have had good use out of this watch for over 24 mths with the charged power level never falling below the "high". Although the watch is quite big the ease of display reading (great backlight by the way) makes wearing it a pleasure in all environments. The only downsides I can mention (and this is almost just for the sake of it) is that it has no 24 hour countdown timer (only a 60 minute one) and the day and date do not display at the same time so you either have to display the day and time or the date and time. The strap is often reported as being leather but is in fact plastic and nylon which is reasonably nice looking although I changed mine to a full black leather Suunto X Lander strap (which fitted well). There is a version with a titanium and/or stainless steel strap which may suit some but this is obviously more expensive. Seriously....the PRG80 is a really good watch, with a raised nicely machined protective ring around the tough glass display screen. I would not hesitate to say to anyone with a bit of a thing about useful gadget watches to get one.
