I shopped hard to find a watch just like my OLD Casio of 3-4 years ago, but, apparently, what looked and worked perfect was not good enough to leave well enough alone, and the Design Dept. has to eat, so it is no more and I have to pick a NEW Model that is close enough, and this was it. (Wonder if Rolex should start TOTALLY changing their watches...ALL of them, every year or two?)
Long story short, this "50 Meter" watch started fogging up within 2 weeks...with just my taking showers with it on. I don't have time to go through the enevitable runaround like my fellow poster, so I now just use it as a food timer....but the seconds digits are not working...
Bought a "Columbia"....nice, but switches back to time mode from stopwatch if no buttons are pushed within 20 seconds or so...."BUZZZZ": bad idea. I'm a Public Speaker and need it to STAY in stopwatch when I select "Stopwatch", thank you! Attention Geniuses: Please don't make assumptions for the Public!! (I guarantee you that no-one asked for that feature!)
Will replace all of these with hourglasses and Sundials soon!
 Weak Case August 5, 2006

The watch runs fine, with all the features I want. Only one problem. Approximately 10 days after receiving and wearing the watch, a portion of the watch case broke. A rather crucial portion -- the small area where the pin that holds the band is attached. In trying to follow Amazon's rules for returning (or repairing) the watch, I recieved time-consuming run-arounds, including countless attempts to reach a live person ("All operators are busy assisting other customers, so please call back.") ... first from Ace (the Distributor), who referred me to Casio, who referred me to their repair center, who referred me to their local repair center. I'm still waiting, approx. 2 weeks later, for a call back from the local guy.
 Excellent Digital Watch December 5, 2003

Over the years, I have bought nothing but this particular watch. I got my first 6 years ago, and had it for 4 years until it met its end in the washing machine. I drove over the second (whoops!) and am now on the third. The reason I keep coming back to this particular watch is that it is rediculously easy to set and use. In the traditional time mode, there is an option for 10 seconds of backlighting, and a toggle between 12 and 24 hour mode. Press "mode" and you continue on to the alarm settings. You can toggle the alarm on and off, as well as set a chime for the hour. The exact same process is followed to set the alarm as to set the time. Press 'light', then use the 12/24 button to increment the fields, and 'light' to continue through all the fields. If you changed anyhting, pressing mode returns you to the time, otherwise, pressing mode again takes you on to the timer. 12/24 starts the timer, light spltis the time, and 12/24 again stops the timer. Pressing light while stopped clears the entry. Pressing mode returns you to the time if you used the timer, otherwise, it continues on to the set-time screen. This behaves the same as the set alarm screen, except you also set the date here.After 6 years of using this model watch, I have found exactly two problems.
1) The date didn't increment to Feb 29, 2000. It went to March 1, 2000. But I was able to manually set it, and it's been fine ever since. We'll see what happens Feb 29, 2004.
2) My first one had a type of cloth for the wristband. It wore out relatively quickly, leaving me with the watch but no band. The plastic/rubbery band is much more durrable. But the positives are much more numerous:
1) Extremely easy to set.
2) Batteries have never wore out on me, and I use the backlight frequently.
3) Nice backlight.
4) Logical "menus"
5) Intuitive navigation - I am a computer programmer, but I've had other digital watches that I could not navigate through with the manual. This one is usable without a manual.
6) Year 2000 compatible! :) This watch is worth far more than Amazon (or anyone, for that matter) charges for it.
