This watch is great with these exceptions:
* The background is black so it won't produce much light. The Casio this is replacing was bright enough to use as a mini flashlight in my house when it is very dark.
* It's a touch on the small side if you have a large wrist. When I've worn a large watch on occasion girls would mention something about it, so this watch lacks flirt appeal.
* Some of the cheaper Timex watches also vibrate when the alarm goes off. I don't know why this doesn't; I would have been willing to pay substantially extra for that feature. I've slept through many alarms (on other watches), anything extra would be great.

Here are some of the things I like about this watch:
* It has 2 countdown timers one of which is repeating (they call it hydra). I use it at work when I take a nap. If timer doesn't wake me the first time it goes off, it'll wake me the 2nd or 3rd time it goes off.
* The light can be configured to automatically turn on every time you press a button.
* The type of battery it takes is written on the underside of the watch. Finally someone figured out this would be useful to write on the watch. It's taken a long time to get here but now I can buy the battery before I open the watch.
* It feels more rugged than the Casio Pathfinder it's replacing. It's also less susceptible to damage from dirt since there are less moving parts for dirt to work into. For instance the bezel doesn't move and the start of the bands are tightly fixed to the case.
