I bought the Casio DW-6600 in 1994 replacing the original G shock I bought in 1983, to say this is a testament to Casio watches is an understatement. I was a Police Officer in NY and put these watches through battles, inclement weather and just banging it around to get supplies out the vehicle trunk. I've gone through 5 bands and 4 batteries (2 for the DW-6600). The DW-6600 is still running which makes it 16 years old. I just bought a new band for the DW-6600 from Amazon and will be proudly wearing it and taking off my retirement gift, a $2000.00 Omega Seamaster (The "James Bond" watch), that can't even keep time correctly, even if I wear it 24-7...its still manages to be a couple of minutes slow! The Casio DW-6600 has kept time precisely for 16 years! I check it with my cell phone and its always correct. Its not a chick watch so ladies try another Casio model. The watch without the band measures 2 inches by 2 inches and is 1/2 inch thick. Its still a joy to wear and look at and lights up really bright it the dark (While camping at night in pitch black I've lighted my way so I could pee). You won't regret buying this watch and if Casio is still constructing them as they did in 1994...what can I say I hope to have it another 9 years so I could say its 25 years old! I would buy a Casio watch or give one as a give without hesitation. Its nice to see a company do well because of a quality product that outlasts all others. Thank you Casio! Perhaps I should have said more things about its features, I just felt it was unnecessary because that's in Amazons description.  Just in case your wondering I paid $34.99 16 years ago!
