This watch is typical of Casio quality, but a step above.  The weight of this watch tells you it's meant to play in a larger arena of more expensive watches (looks and feels sturdy).  Looks great, perfect for someone who wants a nice quality watch without a lot of bells and whistles.  Other reviewers were disappointed with the composite band, saying it's hard.  The band doesn't bother me either...it's not leather and is not supposed to "caress" your wrist.
