 Like it a lot....some getting used to.... December 1, 2008

First of all it's a casio, and with that comes the fact that it will take a beating and not quit...Really like the fact that the city codes it shows for the time zones are more in line with major cities that you may actually go to. Love that the world time is set up so you can see home time above the city in the world you may be in. Handy for when I gotta call my wife at home and I'm in a different time zone. Getting used to the dark display, my other casios all have the lighter screen...People criticize the timer, but for me it's excellent due to the fact you can do a long enough time option to cover any flight (since I work on airplanes, that's a great thing). I also like the strap, even though it's rubber, and usually they scratch or dig into my skin. The looks are great.
Now, to the negative...the alarms are very low compared to my other casios...and the even though the led options are great for the alarm/timer/etc., I wish it was like in the "mudman" where the whole circumference of the watch seemingly lights up. Unless it is really dark around you it's not that noticeable.
Only give it four stars because I can't sync the alarm to the city of the world I may be in, and because the alarm isn't loud enough for me....
As far as a watch and for the price....it's an excellent buy, perfect size if you have a smaller wrist. Good luck!!!

Needed a new Casio after 16 years, looked for something that looks nice, bought this one. Display is a little hard to read, choose it if you like it cool. Buttons are hard to press, esp. the light button. Alarms could be more audible. Countdown timer is not very useful, since it is only one, and the other starts only sequentially. The rest is standard, question still is, do we need a watch that can resist a truck driving over it? Would I be intact afterwards, wearing this watch? Well, well, the timepiece makes its point, it shows the time. OK price for that, good quality material.
 A great watch, at a great price. October 10, 2008

I bought this watch for its style, with its reverse-LCD look... its functionality, keeping track of lap times when I run... and its price.
Extra "Perks"... June 6, 2008

Like all Multi Functional G-Shock Models this one is loaded!
2 options I found that were extremely helpful.
The first of which is contrast adjustment. I was reluctant to go with the negative display (Light digits on a Black background) but it looks so cool I took a chance. The contrast can be adjusted to bring out the digits in different lighting conditions. A first for Casio as far as I know.
The second perk is a "flash" alert. There are two led's embedded at 6 o'clock that flash when an alarm event is activated. Countdown/Alarm/Hourly etc... Perfect for when I'm wearing headphones and can't hear the tone!
There are a lot of features packed into this baby..."Casio-files" will LOVE IT!!!

Overall I like the watch very much. I exchanged the first watch which was light numbers on a black background because it was difficult to see the time. I now have the same watch with black numbers on a silver background. The only minor drawback is that it has functions that I never use e.g. the split stop watch. But I do like the look of it and it keeps excellent time and those are my priorities when purchasing a watch.
