I bought this as a replacement for my 11 year old son. His previous watch (not a Casio) broke after a basketball hit it, popping off the glass and knocking off the hands. As a very happy current owner of a 6 year old Casio G-Shock Atomic Solar watch (no battery replacement yet!), I wanted to make sure that my son would like this style and size, since his wrist is still "small." He loved the look and fit and wears it everyday. The only "modification" is a military-style, wide nylon band with a Velcro adjustable strip for the "clasp" and a built-in face cover/strap. He likes this strap better because unlike the factory rubber strap with the "preset" adjustment holes, he can adjust it anyway he wants, plus being Velcro, it is easier to put on and remove. He loves this so much that he is already looking forward to a Casio G-Shock Atomic Solar watch of his own!
