I got this watch yesterday and it looks better than the picture. It was easy to set as it's atomic and solar. The instruction book is a lot of reading and after a few minutes I got the hang of it. The watch was all set to go except the minute hand was one minute off (LOL) so I did a manual time set and fixed the issue. I left it in a window overnight and this morning it was right on and had received the time signal just fine. I have several Casio watches and this one has become the "flagship" of the fleet. I'll have to take it to a jeweler to have the band adjusted and then it will fit much better. The many features are working great and once you read the book they will be easy to set and use. The dial is not cluttered and looks nice. Very stylish and useful. The glow in the dark works and looks great for night missions. In all this will be a great watch to have. I know I just got it and have not had a chance to play with it but it looks like it will work fine. All my Casio watches have worked great for me 100%. I highly recommend this watch. As for the band chipping of the finish stated by others, I feel that depends on how and when it's worn. Rough work and play will probably show the wear and tear. Easy activities and my retired lifestyle, and timing the Pastor's sermons in church on Sunday with the alarm set to wake me up will help keep it looking great. Enjoy.
