This watch is everything i would need in a watch and more.

However this watch was manufactured in 2011 and apparently the Solar Battery is not what it should be. I tried to charge it following the instructions with both Sun Rays and or Artificial light when i received it to no avail. The charge would not hold and the screen was blank by next morning. The instructions say that if that was to happen in the Future, the battery probably needed replacement and needed to be sent to the Manufacturer for a new Battery. I was patient but since it was a recent purchase-7-10 days-, i decided to return it. Sadly since the watch is -otherwise- well made, multi-functional and radio punctual, 20 Bar pressure resistant underwater and attractive-but bulky-. Another Casio solar watch purchased earlier works perfectly-might be of more recent manufacture.

I will be looking for something similar, but with a good Solar Battery of more durable nature-more recent?-

Hope this helps other possible buyers.
