Oh yea, i use mine religiously. It's my watch! LOL, I really dont wear a watch so I have no other way of keeping track off time unless I turn on my GPS. I text a good bit as well, if I have reception. It's a great way to keep up with the guys that are hunting with you. You hear a shot, then you get a text. Your buddy tells you he just shot a doe. Get ready, deer are moving your way!
