4.0 out of 5 stars Great watch, lousy band, July 21, 2010

By

I got this watch because I wanted a stopwatch feature for running and I have had good luck with earlier Casio watches. This one works great. The buttons are easy to use and the characters, including the calendar numbers, are easy to read even with my middle-aged eyes. But the band they put on it is a disgrace. It is a rubberized type with 11 holes and a buckle. It fits my wrist on the 3rd hole, leaving 8 holes on a loose flap over 3" long. It looks terrible and is hard to buckle and unbuckle. I tried to get a Twist-O-Flex replacement band or something else but the watch shop where I bought it says the Casio attachment is unique and only another band of the same type will fit onto the watch. I am completely happy with the watch but I am ticked off about the band. If you are going to sell a watch with a lousy band, at least use a standard attachment design so buyers can get better one. The vendor told me the only solution is to buy another watch for everyday wear and just use this one for running. That's not acceptable to me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Strap problems, December 5, 2011

Strap broke and is practically impossible to replace. Strap is not a standard replacement and it is almost impossible to find a replacement that will fit. Save yourself some trouble and find a watch with a standard band.

3.0 out of 5 stars Is not durable... case falls apart., May 13, 2011

What I like about this watch:
1. The layout of the face.
2. It's easy to read the time.
3. It's not as bulky as the G-shock I used to own.
4. It's cheap.

What I don't like about this watch:
1. The face gets scratches / rub marks and then then you can't read the time.
2. This watch doesn't have a timer feature.
3. Case cracks - The plastic ears that connect the band eventually crack, fall apart and THE BAND FALLS OFF.

I'm on my third one over the past 2-3 years.
I'm usually able to buff the rub marks off the face... no biggie.
No timer... um... come on Casio.
And finally, if the case was made from a composite plastic, it probably wouldn't break so easy.
