My husband has worn Casio watches more than twenty years.  He usually has a Casio G-Shock which are completely digital (i.e., no moving hands.)  He feels that this watch is a nice change of pace and that it is a little more dressy with the dual hands and digital time as well as the blue accent finish.  The watch has a thermometer and a compass as well as date, time, world time, sunrise/sunset, alarm, stopwatch, timer, and phase of the moon.  The thermometer is a disappointment; it needed some calibration from the factory default (it was supposed to be calibrated perfectly out of the box.)  Before using the compass, you must calibrate it.  Before using the sunrise/sunset, you have to change the latitude and longitude.  While we understood the need to calibrate the sunrise/sunset, it was surprising that we had to calibrate the compass - it seems like north is north no matter where you stand on the globe.  In order to have the thermometer work properly, the watch has to be removed from your arm for more than ten minutes.  While on your arm, it seems to give an average of your body temperature compared to the room temperature (somewhere above eighty degrees Fahrenheit or about thirty plus degrees Celsius.  The band is lighter in weight and certainly thinner than the G-Shock and disappointingly, the buckle is not made out of metal.

Overall, it is still a nice watch and enjoyable to wear.  It doesn't feel as if it will last as well as a G-Shock and my husband won't be using it when he's working in the yard or in his workshop.  He will certainly wear it out for a slightly more dressy look.  I recommend it with the slight reservations I mention in this review - doesn't seem to be a hardworking everyday watch but perfectly suited for lighter wear.
