Update April 6th 2013 --  More than any other watch this one has not let me down! I have since bought a few more Casio's - a few G-shocks, a few Solars, a Mudman and a Casio dive watch. This is the one that I keep returning to for my everyday watch. I bang it at least twice a day, get it soaked, and I amazed that the time, the tide, and moon graphs, have not skipped a beat. I call it "Old Faithful". And for middle aged eyes, I can tell the time anywhere, in any light. I still love it! Thanks Casio and thanks Amazon, for selling such great products!

June 11 2012 - I own several Casio's, and this is my favorite. I am old school, so I need the analog hands, but I also need the digital time for my type of work. For my middle aged eyes, I can see the digital time and date, no matter where the analog hands are positioned. I sometimes have to check on equipment at night, and this thing lights up like a divers watch. You just charge it under a light source for a few minutes, and the charge lasts for a long time. I work near the delta, and I find that the tide and moon phases are right on the money. I have banged this watch several times and no scratches, so far. I have also got it soaked several times, and the time is still accurate. This would be the ultimate watch, if Casio would put it in a G-shock format. The crystal is not protected by the bezel, so you have to be a little more careful with it, then with a G-shock. No matter what watch you choose, you won't go wrong with any Casio watches; because I have found them to be waterproof, and they take lots of punishment, and give accurate time.
