I was just looking through watches here on Amazon for a gift, and was amazed to stumble on this Casio watch.  This is my watch that I received as a gift 8 years ago!  Yes, this exact model!  I've worn it literally every single day since I first got it.  After 8 years, there are some nicks and dings on the edge of the watch and the band shows a little wear.  There are NO scratches on the face, and I'm the type who tends to accidentally bump my watch into walls and such.  Most of all, the watch still functions perfectly and continues to sync with the atomic clock daily.  The original band is still holding strong.  The display has not faded at all and the night-glow feature is still working like new.  I went through digital watches almost every 2 years before I got this one.  Each one of those prior watches would fail in some fashion.  This watch has not had any issues.  I have never had a better digital watch than this.

So my bottom-line to anyone considering this watch is this: Buy it! It will last long and you will not regret it!
