This was/is exactly what I was looking for, and at the right price. In another review, it was mentioned the band is a little stiff at first, but after wearing the watch off and on for a few weeks now, it's begun to limber up some.  The calender is somewhat difficult to "read" even with my glasses on (I'm on the wrong side of 65).  I didn't buy this watch for the calender anyway; I use the calender on my mobile phone.  I will say that at this time I own seven watches.  About half are digital, the others analog.  Over the years I've owned some very expensive watches, from Bulova to Seiko.  This Casio, however, is the ONLY one I've ever worn where I have recieved so, so many compliments, and from total strangers, no less.  It's been keeping perfect time, it's easy to "read" the time of day, and is a watch you can wear when dressed casually, or spiffed up.  I highly recommend this watch.  Every Casio I've ever owned over the years never gave me one second of trouble. No pun intended.  :)
