i dont know about you guys but i am one of those people who as a child could not wear a watch due to it dying on me....well fast forward 2 decades and now i am a 30 year old boy who has a obsession with watches, any good brand but mainly g shock, ive owned a few in the past, starting with the cheaper ones and every time i got a new one i got the more expensive ones. well at the moment this is the flavor of the month erm year lol!

the watch is sleek, simple yet intricate and very very stylish!

the black face with the grey numbers makes it look even cooler and yes its obvious in the light you can see it well but at night with out the illumination you will not but hey thats what the big G on the bottom of the face is...its the illumination button, so its big and easy to get too!

the watch itself has 4 alarms that can be set, snooze time for alarms, a tide and moon graph that can also be set in reverse and it has atomic time keeping and the coolest part is its solar powered, any light will keep it charged but the stronger the light the shorter it has to charge for....it goes something like direct sunlight will charge it fully in 5 minutes, a cloudy day will do it in 20 a really gloomy day will do it in 45 and indoor lighting will do it in a matter of hours, there is a little battery level meter on the watch that will tell you if it is at high, medium, low power and if you need to charge it asap. if you go past the charging level the watch will turn off to save whatever power is left to maintain settings

for its size the watch is actually quite light which is even better, and what you dont see underneath it is that there are flaps that go from the base of the watch to the bands that create a much more rounded fit on your wrist so if you have hairy arms there will be minimized hair pinching and pulling.

there is even an automatic illumination function where you dont have to hit the button, just tilt the watch at a certain angle (you know like you do when you check the time anyway) and itll glow automatically! not very practical if your very active lol but still a good thought....

all in all i give the watch a solid score because its built to last, has good functions and looks nice....

I got this for my brother for Christmas and he absolutely loves it. It was the best price online too.

My husband loves this watch and all of its little extras. He also like the large size and durability. Great purchase.

Works well and looks great, but the black background does bother me at night. Otherwise it is a good watch.

I have always liked Casio products and looked forward to receiving my new watch. Upon receipt I went through the manual and got the features set up. I would have deducted another star because I wanted an atomic solar watch. This watch is not atomic however I should have researched more and so the fault is mine.
The reason for the three stars is the face- it is "too busy"- ie, too many non-essential features- I live in the desert- I don't need to know when it's high tide The black face, a major negative, with all the features makes it EXTREMELY difficult to read the time and is a major negative, which is why one wears the watch to begin with. Unless the watch is in a direct light source I can not read the time.
The watch itself is a nice looking watch, but I suggest you stay away from the black face. By the way, the Casio Tech help line is: 1-800-435-7732 ( listen to all the options). Dont lose this number- it's hard to find.

I expected a more stylish look but it actually looks cheap. I was expectiong a more metallic looking face as shown on the website. It does work well.
