I wanted a classicly styled dive watch (although I admit I don't dive) and decided to add this Casio to my collection. For me, the timless black bezel/black dial on stainless band is the only way to fly. I've had it for two weeks and so far I am very impressed. First, the good:`

At 43mm across (minus the crown) this watch is perfectly sized on my 6.5" wrist, and has a beefy, masculine look.  The screw down crown and caseback are nice touches. I don't personally like to get my watches wet if I can avoid it, but its nice to know the 200m water resistance is there. The coin edge unidirectional bezel rotates smoothly. The red-tipped second hand hits extremely close to the markers. The date and time are both very easy to set. The bezel is nice and glossy and the face has an interesting shimmer to it depending on how the light hits it. Its a subtle effect but a welcome one. I really like the Marlin logo near the 6:00 position. Finally, the watch keeps excellent time.

And now the rest:

The watch is very substantial and has a hefty feel which I don't mind that much, but this may annoy some buyers. The lume is practically non-existant. It glows dimly, for a few minutes and then its gone. There is no LED or EL backlight. The bracelet, while not terrible, is made of folded links instead of solid. I may change out to a leather band for variety.

I bought this watch to have a quality piece with the looks of a Submariner or Seamaster at a fraction of the price, and it delivers, esp at less than $60. Highly recommended.
