**************March 2015 ******************
Despite the water leakage a couple years ago, this Casio is going strong and working well. I use it working around the yard.

**********April 2012 UPDATE*****************

despite the internal soaking in January , it is still running and updating accurately. Crystal is now badly scratched. seems to be a very soft plastic. For $30, it was a good value, however, I am thinking of getting rid of it as it is starting to look ugly.

........January 2012
update.:

This watch is rated 10 bar for water resistance. This means it should be waterproof. Not so. I went swimming with the watch on and the crystal fogged up badly. I'm waiting to see if the moisture has damaged the electronics.

***ORIGINAL REVIEW*****************

Bought this watch from Amazon in June as a 'bang- around' time piece. Works great. Even though I am 2000 miles from Colorado Springs, the watch receives the midnight signal if I place it on a window sill as described in the booklet. Checked the time against the world time web site after one month. It is dead nuts on to the second. Haven't been able to get the solar charge above medium, but it doesn't drop so I stopped trying. Neat how the watch goes into a sleep mode in the dark to save the battery. For $30, this is a great deal!
