I received the watch yesterday, but, put it aside until today when I had time to deal with all the "stuff" people had been saying about this one and some of the other Casio watches.
First, I decided to shorten the watch band by 2 links. There, that took just under 4 min. using a strong toothpick to push in the spring loaded pins to release the links. What was so hard about that????
Next, I put on my reading glasses to actually read the instructions to tackle setting the watches different settings: time x 2, date, DST, temp.,and etc.... Wow! That took just under 20 minutes. The temp. is right on.
What were all these people belly aching about these watches being so hard to set and having to take it to a jewelier to change the links in the band. Boo hoo!
The only thing I don't like is the plastic base of the watch.
The watch looks and feels nice.
