Good value for the money
Easy to read time (analog display), world time, alarms, sturdy, expensive looks, other loads of features
Difficult to resize band, no seconds hand (not really a con but a tad surprising)
Posted Oct 23, 2007 - Let's get the cons out of the way first: When I opened the box the first thing I noticed was that the dial was not blue, but a bit purple/blue which doesn't bother me. The second thing I encountered was the band which was very difficult to resize. (Searched on the web and found a rudimentary two-screwdriver method which surprisingly worked.) I was surprised that the watch lacks a seconds hand. I am used to the presence of a seconds hand even though I rarely have use for it. It took some time adjusting to the lack thereof. The watch also has only 4 buttons on the circumference which control the boatload of features (including setting the analog time!) so the combination of button presses is a little engaging. Store the manual in a safe place, or download a pdf version from Casio's site. On to the pros: What I first look for in a watch is the ability to read time. Between the analog and digital display, it is very easy to read the time, day/date and daylight-savings setting. It has an expensive watch look, yet is light weight. It is so comfortable that I tend to forget that it is on my hand, and end up wearing it throughout the day and night. I frequently call international locations so the world time mode helps me. It is not fun calling a person in the middle of the night across the globe and getting yelled at! The snoozeable alarm is good for waking up daily. The data bank is OK to store some emergency numbers. It is a bit of a hassle to enter them. There are also the timer and stopwatch features that are handy and fun. Casio claims that the battery will last 10 years. Even if it lasts half that time, it is a great deal. Overall, this watch is great value for the sub-20 price range.
