Casio watches have always proved very reliable and, because metal watches slide up my wrist every time I raise my arm, I enjoy the light weight of this watch.  And the velcro closure allows for a perfect, very comfortable fit -- he watch stays put.  The light up dial is a big disappointment.  It's probably because this model has the blue-black dial with white numbers that it's just not bright enough.  It's my guess that the similar Forester Sport Watches with the light-colored dials and dark numbers are a lot easier to see.  But the instructions point out that the "luminous feature" will fade with use and eventually not work at all!  I'm not sure whether they mean the light or the numbers themselves.  Finally, a lot of Casio watches at this price will have alarms and other useful features but not this one.  It's a plain watch with a comfortable band and a light-up dial and the date -- and that's pretty much it.
