Pro’s:

1. 5 alarms with one of them having a snooze option.

2. Moon Phase and Tide forcasting, you can advance to dates in the future on the moon screen and can view the tides of that day (I can predict the tide on a specific future date).

3. You don’t need to hit any buttons to determine the current tide/moon phase.

4. Countdown timer, some casio’s do not have this option, but this one does.

5. Dual Time Zone.

6. Sun Compass (show you an angle and you line the sun up with the angle and you can determine where North is). Each dot/mark on the watch is 6 degrees.

7. Every screen but the stopwatch show the current time.

8. Stopwatch has split times (however not reviewable – see cons)

9. Band is very comfortable with a strong buckle and is not bulky.

10. Pretty good instructions, good detail, shows the options.

11. The Price is great, other comparable watches (with good brand names) with these options run around $60.

Con’s:

1. I wish the booklet or a website provided the lunitidal interval for most beaches as this value slightly differs from location to location. The Lunitidal Interval is a delay between the moon at the middle of its rise/set and the following High tide. It is needed for the watch to display accurate tides.

2. The countdown timer can only be set to minutes. I can set it to count down from one minute, but I can not set it to count down from 20 seconds.

3. The band where it connects to the watch body cannot rotate past a certain point. This means that it is always in a circular arrangement and not as comfotable as it could be in a pocket. It can not be flattened

4. I wish the light was an indigo light instead of the bulb light.

5. I wish the lens was a little better protected by the outer rim. I hate scratches (no watch is perfect in this regard).

6. The indicator that shows if the alarm is armed is a little difficult to see – but it can be seen.

7. Seems to be about 4 fast after a month.

My con’s are more a bit of whining. I love this watch. I purchased this watch for a specific purpose, but now I wear it all the time. Great look, very comfortable, very useful.

I bought this watch because i was going to the rainforests of africa for 3 months and needed an initial timekeep while i was in the capitol city but figured it wouldnt b as important in the rainforrest and would probably get really messed up, so i didnt want to spend alot of money on the watch. I did abuse the crap out of my watch but by the end of the trip it proved to work very well and a very good deal for under 25 dollars, i wanted to keep the watch but instead gave it away to an african friend of mine as a gift, im planning on buying another one because it was a great watch, very durable, no worries about getting it soaked/hitting it over a tree accidently/dropping it off a small cliff by accident (granted it did fall on leaves)… and the tide feature was nice when i was by the ocean, i didnt think it would work (or that the tides would b somewhat diff where i was) but it proved to be true and allowed me to know if i can leave town and get back on time or would the roads be flooded due to high tide and id have to go for a swim for a nice distance… reliable, sturdy, (NOT very big like some guy compared it to G-Shock, thats just silly, its nothing that size) and dont look half bad, plus the alarm always woke me up on time (im typically a hard sleeper) and the light feature allowed me to see the time even in a dark tent… my only complaint was that u would have to keep hitting the light button after every other button u press in order to get it back on (light turns off as soon as other button is hit), so if i was setting my alarm in my dark tent i would have to set it one digit at a time making sure to hit the light every digit imbetween… but its completely doable and would not stop me from buying it again in the future… also stop watch and count down timer proved to be excellent for field research

This great little watch does everything its advertised to do for a reasonable price, but has one big flaw. The four large set buttons are exposed in such a way as to be inadvertently bumped and changing the function which happens all the time. Its especially bad when using the dual time function, when an accidental bump to either of two buttons actually changes the displayed time in half hour increments. This can easily cause the missing of an appointment.

I love my watch for a number of reasons.

1. The watch is sleek and chic, different in an understated, “European” way. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments.

2. It’s very durable and functional. I work in an ER so I set it on 24 hr to make it easy to document entries on the ER chart. The day & date remind me where in the week I am. If I get anything on it, I just wash it off.

3. It’s VERY reasoonably priced. If it ever breaks (which mine hasn’t) it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to get a new one.

I purchased this watch for my 10 year daughter who wanted a digital watch with a stopwatch and alarm. This little guy is definitely unique and stylish and had the right features. She’s very happy with it and wears it all of the time.

Even though the watch isn’t designed for children it is comfortable on her smaller wrist due to the gentle curve in the back of the watch.

The only reason I didn’t give the watch 5 stars is due to the softer plastic used for the watch crystal which scratches more easily than I expected. A little plastic polish cleaned up most of the scratches however.
