I really needed a new watch. My swatch's  band eroded & fell apart after 18 mos. I didn't  want the same thing to happen, so I looked around for a new brand. I really wanted a baby g, but was worried that I may be overspending. I thought the illuminator watch by casio was just as good as the baby g. It was made by the same watchmaker as the baby g with some of the same great details and quality for quite a bit less. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase & am looking forward to getting the illuminator in more colors. It is sturdy & cute. My awesome new watch also arrived weeks before it was supposed to.
