I just bought one of these because I got tired of being unable to adjust the time or use the feature buttons on my old analog/digital watch (they had gotten crudded up with skin oils and dirt).

The first thing you note about the Casio is that it is big (thick) and heavy. This is not a delicate or subtle time piece. The second thing you notice is that (unless you have huge wrists) you have to take some links out of the band, there are no instructions for doing this packed with the watch, and the on-line brochure at the Casio web site has no instructions either. Your best bet is to go do a search on the internet where kind individuals have posted the non-obvious instructions. It is not hard to do, but neither is it easy. After you do it a few times, you get good at it and only use a little bad language when you do it. Anyway, once done, it's done.

Beyond those few things, the watch is very nice. The display is easy to read. You can momentarally turn on the pretty blue back-light by flicking your wrist, it picks up Denver well (I am in Michigan) each night, the battery seems to charge fast...even indoors, the crystal is mineral and hard, the housing/band is mostly stainless (with a little gray plastic), the buttons are fairly easy to use, set up is easy (once you down-load the good instructions from the Casio web site), the band is handsome, day and date are reasonably large.

The multiple alarms are nice, as is the stop-watch. A count-down timer would be nice, but it's not there.

Well worth the seventy bucks I paid.
