Its very affordable, it's cute, it does the job. I've had it now for about 2 months, I've taken to the pool, to the beach, working out, in the sun for hours, its ben in the washing machine and it still works great. I've seen this watch in stores and it is waaaaaaay over priced. I live in the caribean, it costs about $300 USD, which is insane considering what this watch is actually worth. Casio has always made very good and long lasting watches. The manual is way long but there are a few functions and buttons on this watch. I am happy with this purchase.
