Since cell phones, I haven't needed to wear a watch until recently.  Back in the day, I wore this style Casio watch working in a dog grooming shop & was thrilled to find it still around.  The countdown alarm was perfect for timing how long to leave shampoo on the pets & will now keep me honest on break & lunch times.  Programming the time & date was easy to accomplish without reading the instructions.  It's a small, simple & extemely affordable Casio classic.  In fact you can get it cheaper now & delivered to your front door.  As long this watch is as durable as they used to be, I'd consider it a great value !!!
