You probably don't want a 3/4" hose for watering the plants and whatnot, but for sprinklers and other applications where you want a lot of flow and don't drag the hose around too much it is ideal.  I bought one of these to replace a 5/8" hose from the local garden center that runs across our driveway to a big sprinkler.  The old hose was a few years old and finally cracked where we drive over it.  This one has been there for about 6 months now and shows no sign of breaking down so far.
