Got this for my dad for Fathers Day. His other watch broke, he doesnt like the “fancy” ones they got today(as he puts it). He wanted a simple watch. Well this one has the time(hope so), day and date, and his loves the light, he goes to the movies at least once a week, so the light helps tremulously. Plus day + date is on same face no pushing buttons, someones always asking that. If you like a watch that is simple, just time and day is all you need to know, not all that other “fancy” stuff this watch is for you.

It is thinner than a lot of more modern watches (I measure it as 9.5mm). Compared to the older Casio I replaced, it has one fewer button which makes it a bit non-intuitive (the light button is used for setting things). It also is missing the year, so I assume I must manually adjust for leap-years (not to mention the DST).

If you are looking for a cheap, durable watch, look no further. As a student, it suits my needs perfectly. It has a large, clear display, which includes the date, alarm indicator, hour-beep indicator, and PM indicator. The electro luminescent backlight works wonderfully, and I’ve noticed that the face doesn’t get scratched if it makes contact with a wall. It’s water resistant, so you don’t have to worry about it when washing your hands. I’ve used the alarm on several occassions, and I have no complaints. It beeps loudly for around 30 seconds, so unless you are a particularly heavy sleeper you should have no problems with it. Also, I’ve seen complaints about the size of the band…I wear it on the fourth notch from the end and I am an average-build 6 foot tall male. If you are heavy-set or muscular then this watch might not be for you. I’ve never had any use for the timer function, but I’ve read that a lot of people find it useful. The controls are very user-friendly…no complaints here. If you are looking for a flashy watch, or one you can take into the pool, then you’ll want to look elsewhere. Otherwise, you can’t beat the value. It has a seven-year battery and costs about as much as a CD.
