The perfect watch for the technophile who wouldn't be caught dead with a digital watch July 8, 2007

Although this watch is "only" a Casio it is simply an amazing and elegant timepiece. For under $60 dollars the watch looks like it costs at least $100 more and has tons of features to keep any technophile content.
The Pros of this watch include:
- Looks: Unlike a lot of other Casio watches, which have cheap looking plastic parts holding the metal pieces together, this watch is all metal. It looks like it is on par with the Seiko's and Pulsar's out there. I chose the square model over the otherwise identical round model because it looks more elegant whereas the round appears more sporty... either way you cannot go wrong.
- Features: The face of the watch is embedded with digital screens that are not normally visible unless you really try and look for them. This allows it to have the grace of a analog watch with the technology and features of a digital. But remember this is an analog watch first so the digital screens are not quick and easy to read like a true digital watch... they are there for supplementary information.
Cons of this watch include:
- The hands of the watch can partially obstruct the digital screens at times.
- The indicators for the alarm, hourly chime, autobacklight, etc. are really small and hard to see.
- The clasp of the band is made from much cheaper looking steel than the rest of the watch. This is not really a problem since you cannot see this part once the clasp is closed.
- The band is rather difficult to adjust and there are not a lot of settings in between so I was not able to get the "perfect" fit although it is very close.
- The band seems to scratch easily. I have had a Pulsar diver's watch for 20 years and had no scratches on its band. I have owned the Casio for less than 1 month and already there are a few faint scratches. Luckily I have not scratched the crystal as of yet but I would not be surprised if this also was easy to scratch.
- The thermometer is innacurate but it can be calibrated and once you calibrate it according to your body temp it does a fair job of telling you the temperature.
- It only has 1 alarm, and it does not have atomic timekeeping like other Casio watches.
Overall I have been really happy with the features and appearance of this watch. It really draws lots of compliments for its analog style and when people look at it upclose they are wowed by the technology factor as well. Really a good buy for the money, hopefully it will hold up with daily use and abuse.
One of the better looking digital watches December 23, 2006

I bought this watch as a gift for my brother who specifically wanted a better looking digital watch to wear to work. Out of the countless watches I looked at, this Casio was the best one (and it's round twin) under $100. It has most of the desired features in a digital: alarm, stopwatch, timer. It also has a temperature meter but I wonder about it's accuracy. In any case, the digital readout is very difficult to see in the light of day. At night, a push of the illumination button makes it easy to see. The band looks OK but is cheap rolled steel with no attempt made to polish/brush the sides to conceal that fact. All in all, a decent watch that stands out in looks compared to other budget digital watches.
 A decent+fashion full-metal watch August 26, 2007

This watch fits men with regular or bit smaller size wrist. The black dial plate, full stainless steel barrel shape make it looks decent but fashion. CASIO has another model with round shape, but I think the barrel shape looks more fashion. The size of this watch is on average, but a bit bigger would make it perfect. The thickness is just right.
The ED light is dim, however it doesn't bother a lot since you'll also want to save the battery power. The thermometer is interesting and useful. Putting the watch and other thermometer together into water would help you set the point right if you need to.
The only thing I'm not satisfied is the adjustment of the wrist band. The segment doesn't fit the best for me, which my previous SEIKO perfectly did.
You won't regret buying this watch with this price. (<$60)
I'm wearing it right now! (Updated) November 25, 2007

Pros: It's digital and analog. It looks decent; slightly dressy; a change of pace for me since I usually buy sports watches. It's got a thermometer. World time. It's less than $60.00!! For value, it's a five star!
Cons: Backlight is not very bright and does not stay on long. It's not atomic (I usually buy waveceptors). The digital part of the watch is round (within the square) I'd rather the whole square but that's my own opinion. It's a little bulky for others but I'm used to bulky watches. Battery life rated to only last two years.
Buy the link remover tool Heavy Duty Watch Band Tool Link Pin Remover for Bracelet Adjustments Watch Sizing Repair Fix with TWO (2) EXTRA PINS if your wrists are smaller than average unless you like loose watch bands. I bought the one I just listed and it works well; just be patient. You really can't beat the Amazon prices compared to most retail shops!
Update: April 2008 and a control push button came off! Dissapointing to say the least.
Simple, looks great, people love it; bulky, scratches January 27, 2007

I bought this watch because I was looking for a decent looking ana/digi that. The watch looks GREAT. I've never had so many compliments on my watch: "that's a great/neat/sweet watch". Everyone is shocked to find out its a Casio when I let them inspect it.
Only problem I've had is I find that it scratches rather easily, both glass and bracelet. Not so visible on the bracelet since it is metal, but the head of the watch is rather bulky so can sometimes catch on furniture/corners if you're not used to a bulky watch.
Pro
- Looks great
- Analog/digital (if that's what you're looking for)
Con
- A tad bulky (especially since it doesn't have an antenna like waveceptor watches)
- A bit on the heavy side
