There are so many reviews of this watch that you could spend most of the day reading them (i know, because i did.) So i'll not write a review that makes the same points over... rather, i will just say the following:

1.) the only reason that this watch gets 4 and not 5 stars is the lack of a countdown timer. I collect watches, and if this one had a countdown timer, it would be the one i wore most often. The "time memo" feature is basically useless to me. So close to being the perfect watch. Oh well, the search continues...

2.) it does not have a DST setting. To adjust for DST, you must change your GMT setting +/- 1 hour. DST is stupid anyway. I can't wait for it to go away.

3.) It does not feature a second time zone.

4.) There is no difference between this watch, and the 'hunting timer' model. None. even the "prime fishing time" is exactly the same as the "prime hunting time" featured in the other model. the idea is that animals are active more during certain points of the moons transit. Fish and land animals behave exactly the same in this way. It took some digging to learn this, so i pass this on to you in case you (like me) were more interested in the 'hunting timer' but like the appearance of the fishing model better. (or vice-versa)

5.) the vibrating alarm may or may not wake you up, but realize that the canvas and leather band material is stiff when new, and that the caseback will not sit "flush" against your wrist until it breaks-in/relaxes a bit. I suspect that with more contact, more vibration will be felt. I sleep like a dead rock though, so this was never going to wake me up unless it also sported a Casio "Gentle-Electroshock" feature. It does not, but it's not designed to wake you up. it's designed to alert you without making noise and scaring fish/game. so deducting points/complaining about that is absurd.
