Retro cool & cheap
What's not to like apart from price?I bought this in the UK from amazon UK. If I'd bought it from amazon USA as I have done with some of my watches it would have been £10-£15 cheaper. It really sucks that if I use tonnes more carbon utilizing robots, humans and several land vehicles and aircraft and can also wait, I can have it for fewer pounds sterling!I just didn't want to wait.The watch is an amazing piece of retro techno for the money. Too many features to mention here. However the capability of this watch far exceeds most watches in existence and for a bargain price.It's built to be budget but it has an amazing module within. Highly customizable. There's a whole sub culture out in the world modifying these things. That's the reason I bought this one and waiting for delivery on another.Left as it is, it's a very capable time piece, usable in any situation. You can even swim whilst wearing it.I like conventional watches and have a few this is my first blast from the past from a time when all us cool & groovy kids were wearing digital watches. Only the nerds had clockwork watches.So From this ultra cool & groovy grandad who's "down wit da kids", go and buy it and be as cool as me!

Simple and smart
This is the first watch I have owned in a long time. This may not be a smart watch but I love how simple this is to use.At this moment I have no complaints about this watch and I am very happy with my purchase.

One of the most iconic casio watches.
I've wanted to buy this watch for ages to add to my collection of iconic Casio watches and finally I've gone ahead and bought it. This watch looks a lot more expensive than the price it sells for. Its a brilliant watch for those who travel a lot or those who need to keep track to time in different countries. I love being able to scroll through 4 time zones with the click of a button. Also where most Casio watches have only one light, this one has two (one of either side) so the screen is really well lit (as you can see from the pics attached).Another cool feature of this watch is how easy it is to switch between time zones. So when you get to another country all you need to do is go to the World Time screen, select the time zone for the country you are in and then press the top two buttons on the watch. This instantly swaps the home time to the country you selected. Now your alarms will go off at the correct time in the new location and you can still see your Home time with the click of a button.Other cool features are the analogue time which is always available to view no matter what screen you are in. This watch also has 100m water resistance so you can easily go swimming with it (but I would'nt go any deeper) and has a 10yr battery. I have another Casio watch which has a 10yr battery and that is still running after 15yrs on the original battery! The watch is also really light and you'll barely feel it on your wrist.Negatives? A few (nothing is perfect!) I wish there was an option to show the date and month in the British (dd/MM) format rather than the American (MM/dd) format, but this is only a niggle as you soon get used to it. Also viewing angles aren't great especially if you are trying to catch a glimpse of the time in a boring meeting without making it too obvious to others ;). For those looking at the images and wondering how it would look on your wrist, that's the watch on my 7.5inch wrist. Hope this helps!

Good for the money.
Decent bit of kit and all functions work as described. Easy to use and set up.However, the screen does scratch fairly easily. I work in an office so it's not like it's getting battered on a building site or similar.The strap is fairly lame too. The strap retaining thing to prevent it flapping around once done up tends to move so needs replacing several times a day.On the whole tho I'm pleased with it and would buy another.Will be interesting to see if the 10 year battery life guarantee lives in to its promise..

Love the simplicity and retro feel
I generally love Casio watches anyway and have a handful of them now. What I love about them is the reliability and simplicity of them. The pricing point is fair reflected by the plastic housing and strap.Wearability, it is very comfortable and sits nice on the wrist. Time, date etc are easily readable too.Furthermore, it reminds me of the Seiko watch worn by Roger Moore as James Bond, what's not to like?
