 Very good value for money, but.. August 2, 2008

As the other reviews mention, this watch looks and feels far better than you'd expect for the money - it looks very classy and quite a few people have commented on it, expressing surprise when they hear it's only a Casio.
I bought this to replace an Omega Seamaster. To my mind, the Casio looks a lot like an Omega, but it differs in to key respects: 1) the Casio's far more accurate, and 2) it doesn't need a 190 service every few years, which is the reason I ditched the Seamaster after nearly a decade.
There is a down-side, though; the 'crystal' is glass and convex, extending beyond the metal bezel and it consequently scratches quite easily. Whilst it's not as vulnerable as the plastic screens Casio likes to use on its digital watches, mine nevertheless became scratched right across the face within a month of buying it, probably when brushing against a metal hand-rail - something to which my old Omega was immune, although in the Casio's favour, the Omega cost 38 times as much.
After nearly a year, it still looks good, though.. for the money, I don't care about the odd mark. When it gets really badly scratched, I'll just buy another one!

Fantastic watch for the money. Well built, looks good, lights bright, if you like the look of it don't worry about the quality because it's fantastic, could easily sell for 100.
Good looking, robust, divers watch. A bargain. June 12, 2008

I bought this watch to replace my G shock for work (I am a paramedic.)
I needed a cheap waterproof watch that was washable and robust. I regularly come into contact with not very nice liquids!.
Even G shocks get crud in crevices.(between the glass face and the surrounding plastic is always good for real stubborn crud on G shocks.)
I was really chuffed with this watch from the off. really good finish, obviously well put together and the white led light is really great and very bright.
It has been in the washing machine no probs. looks like new still. looks more expensive than it is and had the ultimate test last month when we went diving in the red sea in egypt. no problems and the watch took it all in its stride. The light is still bright on the sea bed!
Its a utilitarian watch granted, but its a good looking one and at this price its nearly disposable. It comes in a stainless steel bracelet version too if you dont like resin straps. (theyre just easier to clean for me. )
