#1 reason I bought this watch is the large numbers so it's easy to read. There are many other reasons to buy this great watch but that was my #1 concern. I have the 5600 model and absolutely love it but often times the numbers are tough to read. Not so with this watch.

Pros
- Easy to read with large numbers
- Solar
- Atomic
- Auto-lighting with a turn of the wrist so you don't have to press a button - love it!
- Virtually indestructible
- Dive Friendly
Less important but still cool: World time and multiple alarms

Cons
- It's big so it might not be for everyone. I like it but it's a close call in terms of being too big for my wrist.
- It's a little heavy - so it might not be for everyone.
- Alarm isn't as loud as other Casio watches I've heard
- Some people may find the buttons a little hard to push. For me it's noticeable but I can live with it - very minor annoyance.
- The band looks really cool and if it fit well I'd be thrilled. But, I've had it adjusted a few times and now we've removed as many links as possible and it still doesn't fit right. I'm moving to a resin band - because I have to - I really like the watch.

Based on a little research, it seems the GW-500 resin band is a perfect fit so I just ordered one from Amazon.

Update: resin band above is perfect for the watch. Now I love this watch again - all is well. I do recommend this watch. The resin band makes it significantly lighter too. If the original band had fit - or if your wrist is bigger than mine - I think anyone would love this.
