I've only been wearing it for 2 days so far, but this watch has made it through two days gardening and banging around handwashing dishes no problem. I really like that this watch feels heavy-duty. I am no longer worried about dropping my watch or forgeting it's on when I jump in the shower. I am a big Disney fan and have bought countless watches disney themed only to be buying a new watch a few months down the road. I don't do much sporty stuff, but I needed a watch that wasn't gonna kick the bucket a few months down the road. As somebody else stated on the blue version of this watch, the color in the pictures aren't true to what the color actually is. The band is alot more sub-dued in color, kinda like a lavender/gray color see through jelly band, very pretty and more adult like than other sport watches with color on them. It does take a bit getting use to have a big face on the watch for me, but if it stays alive for me, I'll deal( I prefer more petite watches). If anything happens to it, I'll revise my review. :)

It's bigger than the average women's watch and very well made. It has a lot of neat features. Besides telling time and showing the date, it can store up to 20 phone numbers or other important info. It's a stopwatch, an alarm clock, and a world timekeeper. It also has a blue backlight and an hourly time signal. I love this watch.

I like this watch. It is lightweight and comfortable, and does not feel bulky. The color is light enough that I can wear it in a format work setting and feel good. I gave it 4 stars only because the databank pages don't seem to automatically sort themselves into alphabetic format, remaining in the random order in which they were entered. Also, there are only 20 data pages, and I would have preferred 30. Otherwise, it is easy to program and the electro-illuminescent back-light is great.

This is a great looking watch. It goes well with my work attire. However, it isn't easy to program, set the time, etc. I know someone who actually returned it because it is so difficult to use. But, once you figure it out it is great!

Bought this watch for the girlfriend. She leads a very active lifestyle and this watch is perfect for her. It's lady-like, but super tough. And it tells time. Very little more you can ask for in a watch. Definitely recommend this watch. The one thing to keep in mind is that its a little on the large side, so if you want a dainty little watch, this is not it. Other than that, its fabulous.

Much better then I expected. The watch I recieved looks quite different from the watch shown. It has a clear face instead of a purple one, also like others said the color is much more sub-dued then in the picture.

This is my first day wearing it and so far so good, I was very glad to have an alarm that is loud enough to wake someone like myself up.

The watch is a bit bulky if you are not used to wearing sport watches, though I am already getting used to it and loving it.

As other reviewers have mentioned, the purple color of the watch is more toned down than it appears in the picture. For me, this was good because I feel like it doesn't clash if I'm wearing colors that don't really go with purple. I wear it all the time and rarely take it off and I've had the watch for almost 5 months... it doesn't have any scratches, so I'm also very pleased with the fact that its REALLY durable (I'm very clumsy... constantly bumping into things). Also, its features are pretty awesome. I love the countdown timer, the FIVE alarms, and the fact that I can easily switch to different time zones (I've traveled across multiple time zones a couple of times since getting the watch).

So here's the kicker... this is what is holding me back from giving it 5 stars... like I said, I rarely take it off and under the clear plastic around the face, I'm just starting to see mildew building up. I would have thought that with all the features they put into the watch and the cost, it would have been easy to prevent this. The watch will definitely need to be cleaned out soon and I'm really disappointed in how they couldn't create a better seal between the parts.

Not a bad watch for the price. I have a small wrist, and the band seems to be a bit uncomfortable when I adjust it to size (the plastic is quite stiff and hits my wrist a bit awkwardly). I use it when I scuba, snorkel, swim...I can see it quite well under water. The buttons are fairly easy to use once you know where they are and what they do. I would buy it again...

Had this watch for over a year now and its still going strong and looking good. Color is VERY light purple; much lighter than picture. Love the chunky, heavy feel to it. Glass face is still in pristine condition thanks to the rubber "bumpers." I use the alarm and running mode features, and also have several time zones programmed in. Some dirt does get trapped under the bumpers and around white buttons. But would DEFINITELY BUY THIS WATCH AGAIN. Plan on ordering another in a different color.

The first baby G I bought was great, lasted for more than 2 yrs and still going. I bought another one for my younger daughter. After 3 wks (1 month from date of order), one of the buttons fell off. My daughter wear it to swimming. She is not an active child. So I sent it in for repair. I got a quote of $30 plus tax, shipping for a $50+ watch to replace the button!!

I was shocked it is not covered under the warranty. So I called the service representative According to her, warranty covers only the mechanistic functioning of the watch. Everything can fall off but if it works, then you are out of luck. But again, they can say you abuse the watch. So I said can't it be a quality control issues? She said, there is no recall. I said not necessary a recall type just manufacturing problem. She said if so, then I would have seen it once I open the box and their QC is 100% !!!!!! Wow, I am amaze. I need to work in Casio manufacturing. She said, "I am not saying it is your child but maybe she hit it somewhere..." At this point I felt that this lady was just saying anything she wants (100% QC!!!)

I said I want to talk to the supervisor, she said "no" since this is not an issue for sup. I insisted and finally someone who claim to be a manager talked to me (This "manager" even got my name wrong). Repeated the whole thing plus that I used tapes to tape the watch onto the box. She said that (the tape) was also a problem!!! I replied that it was done to prevent the watch from "jumping" around during shipping. Wow, now I know that baby G needs to breath so it cannot be taped. Then said my daughter is young, active .... I shut her up by saying, this watch claimed to be for sports. If she cannot jump, swim in it then what good is it? There was no dents or deep scatches on the watch (I want to say no scratch but I never know). She said she will see what she can do and call me. We shall see.

And one reviewer mentioned that the watch gets stuff on it. This one did. Maybe because of the daily swimming my daughter did. That was also a problem she mentioned about this watch not being covered under warranty.
I can understand that it may not be covered but the first representative was totally abnoxious. Telling me that it CANNOT be casio's problem. I will not buy a casio product anymore because many camera owners reported problem with their warranties too.
