 Another ReviewSep 06, 2009
By Loafers
Why you should buy this watch:
1) Lightweight: You'll forget your wearing it.
2) Thin: Most of the thin watches I see are designed for girls. I can confirm that wearing this watch will not lose your manliness.
3) Simple: If you want more, glue a smartphone to your wrist. Then repeatedly bang your head on it.
4) Quality: It's Casio (okay okay Gshock is awful, but lets pretend that was an accident).
5) Looks: Retro classic professional nerdy sporty all in one. I personally feel like I belong to a special club when I wear this.
Some useful information:

I LOVE THIS WATCH - and I'm a female :-)Oct 16, 2008
By C. Bennett
I've been wearing this watch since high school (over 15 years ago). I bought it for track so I could pace my practices. I can't find any watch out there that has the countdown feature that repeats, so I can set it to ding at me every 3 minutes or 2 hours or whatever. I love the digital - it's easy to read in a pinch. And I'm not really aware of time, so the hourly alarm really helps me keep track. I do agree that it is not the most attractive watch - especially for a female, but I just can't get enough of this light-weight, easy to use watch. I've had probably 5 of this exact watch. I lost my last two and I've worn out the rest. I try to wear other watches.. analog, silver, gold... that are more fashionable, but I just can't break away from this watch. I was heartbroken when Target stopped selling it, and elated when I found it on the web. I'm excited to know it's a 20 year old design... that way I can be confident that it will be around for a while. If not, I'd buy 50 more so I could make sure I always had one! That's how much I LOVE this watch... I just ordered it off this site after being without it for a year (did I mention Target?) and I cannot wait for it to arrive!! I should have bought 2...

Durable, Functional and Long Lasting. Well worth the moneyOct 07, 2005
By E. Ham
I've used this model for past 10+ years. I don't remember when I first used this one, but the last one I had finally died after about 10 years, earlier this spring. So, I bought another one, exactly same model. I don't remember whether I had this model or another cheaper model before the previous one.
But the previous one went with me from the cold winters of Chicago to the sizzling summers of Iraq where temperature was well over 140+ degrees (I know this b/c others with Suunto watch with thermometer told me). Used it when I was swimming, kayaking, running, biking, etc. etc. I remember changing the battery at least once and changed the strap 2 or 3 times.
So, when the last one died in April of 2005, I went out and bought another one. This one should last another 10 years. What more can you ask for for $20?

Nobody will say wow, but ........Jan 10, 2006
By K. Fuller
I really like this watch. It's very comfortable. It is light and thin. It is the only watch I've had in recent memory that I don't take off when I work.
If you want to try to impress people with your cool watch, look elsewhere. If you want a nice watch for yourself, look at this watch or a similar one.
Yes, it has a light so you can check the time when it is dark.
By the way, this design is more than 20 years old. When you set the year, you can set it as far back as 1985.
Hope this helps.
