The analog time--hour, minute, and second, as well as day, month, and date--is displayed in black on a bright blue background on the lower half of the black dial. Three silver-tone-encircled sub-dials provide a countdown timer, 1/100th second stopwatch, and multifunction alarm on the top half of the dial. Press the light button at the bottom of the bezel to turn on the backlight. This sturdy timepiece won't let you down, even if you spend some time in, as well as on, the water.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great, comfortable watch. I highly recommend, December 14, 2006

I was first drawn to this watch by it's looks and the fact that it's a Casio. I've had great luck with Casio's over the years, and the fact that this sported looks I really liked made it a pretty easy selection ... along with the the great price. I've had it for several months now and I can say I'm very happy with it. I'd give it a 5 star rating except for the following design short falls I think warrant some mention:

1) All watches that feature plastic strap pieces (also sometimes referred to as resin) will, in time, develop cracks and splits in them if they are exposed to moisture ... sweat, humidity, water ... and not dried promptly after exposure. Knowing this, I fail to see why a mostly metal watch would be made with any such parts. Since they are bound to fail before the metal parts, this counts for me as a design flaw.

2) While I love the look and design of this watch and the indiglo back light, like some other digital watches, I find the location of the main time numbers to be a bit LOW in the LCD window. Because of the way LCD displays work, there is a difference in depth between the upper surface of the watch crystal and the location of the black numbers. This being the case, if the numbers are located low in the LCD window (as they are in this watch), when you tip your wrists to view the dial, if you don't tip it far enough toward yourself, part of the bottom of the numbers can be obstructed from view, which, depending on what time it is, can make it hard to tell the time. This is a common design shortcoming with LCD watches, and this one is no different. It's not a deal breaker, but it can be annoying when you casually go to check the time and find you have to RE-check because your first glance really didn't tell you what time it was clearly enough to be certain.

All in all a great watch ... light weight, attractive, easy to use, great glow effect in the dark, well designed buttons ... I can highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great watch for the price, March 17, 2008

By	New Dad (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

I ordered this watch to use as a traveling timepiece. The illuminator feature and metal band are great features for a watch in this price range. I'd categorize it as a medium sized (compared to other digital watches) timepiece. G-shocks are much bigger and bulkier and frankly, this one is affordable enough that I can replace it if it breaks. Countdown, timer, and alarm features all work as advertised. Date is a little hard to read but not impossible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great watch, August 31, 2009

By	C. Scott (Waterford, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have worn Casio watches for 20 years and have always been impressed with their quality. This watch is no exception. The thing I like the best so far is the backlight. Its not like those light blue backlight watches. When you press the backlight button on this watch it is a light blue color but its very bright and that makes it very easy to see the numbers on the watch.
