Arrived on time.  Took a couple of links out in a few minutes with basic tools.  Feels good.  Very light.  After 5 minutes it doesn't seem large anymore.  Needed sunlight right out of the box- battery meter showed I needed to, anyway.  Manual is as thick and as large as a deck of cards.  Luckily, if you've ever owned a Casio, programming is intuitive.  I changed the time zone, checked the compass against that of my iphone, an made several other adjustments before ever cracking the manual.  Feels good.  Looks good.  Works good. Havent tried the altimeter yet. Everything else seems to be working great.  Couldn't be more pleased with this watch.  Update- a year after my initial review- watch still looks and functions as new.  I have a black rubber g-shock that I normally wear around the house and for grubby work.  I have to stop myself from reaching for the pathfinder, my favorite watch.  ** Update- 3 years after purchase- watch still performs flawlessly.
