After two decades of wearing Casio sport watches with rubber wrist bands, my skin just couldn't take it any more.  I was at a loss until I found this watch as I loved my old Casios.  Finally, solution found!  This watch is great and the metal wrist band is very comfortable as compared to others I have worn.  The functions are logical and easy to use.  The "Edifice" series has a very nice look to it, but is still durable and is easy to read, especially due to the luminescent hands and markings on this particular model.  No more batteries too due to the solar charging.
