 Overall Good - Some ComplaintsJan 31, 2008
By Chris LaVesser
"Goofball on bowed legs"
Pros: This watch is quite accurate. I've never had to make any adjustments to it and have been wearing it for nearly two years. Still on the first battery. This watch is also incredibly rugged. I am an active, active outdoor adventurer and have ABUSED this watch. It's never once asked me to ease up on it; it just keeps telling me the time. This includes a couple SCUBA dives.
Cons: The light only lights the small digital display at the bottom of the watch. If, like me, you keep the digital display on the date mode, the night light won't help you much. I don't believe this watch has ever leaked, but if the temperature is cool, this watch fogs up. And finally, if the time is between 25 past the hour and 35 past the hour, don't even think about being able to read the digital display at the bottom; the minute hand WILL obscure your view.
Overall this is a great, rugged watch for the price.

Good Functional Value...Nicely StyledMay 22, 2006
By dennis wentraub
What's not to like about a seventy dollar waterproof, shockproof multi-function watch that also looks good. It's a seriously rugged-looking watch but very light weight. An inset digital screen is controlled by a mode button that advances through the date, digital time, alarm time, stopwatch, and second time zone functions. The screen can be backlit in a cool (really) blue light for night viewing. The rectangular screen is a bit small and not easily read with these baby boomer eyes in certain offlit situations. It is also difficult to read the screen when the analog minute hand sweeps across the screen through the 4 to 8 hour period. I'd pay another ten bucks to see this screen replicated on the top of the watch face (between 10 and 2 o'clock)to avoid this. No big deal. Hey, it's only seventy bucks!

Adjusting analog time -- not user friendlyDec 17, 2005
By Tool Nut 102
Very nice watch in terms of appearance, accuracy, and reliability. The analog hands feature is great, in that it combines the accuracy of a digital movement with a display that can easily be read without glasses (great for us increasingly-senior citizens). BUT -- adjusting the time display (analog hands) is a major pain, at daylight savings time. The hands can ONLY be advanced in the forward direction. So plan on spending a good while slowly rotating the movement through a full 12 hours when you need to adjust the hands only ONE hour back. The upside is that the movement is accurate enough that you should not need to adjust the hands, other than at DST changeovers.

 Analog/Digital - Nice concept, poorly executed:May 23, 2010
By M. Johnston
"Mike J"
I've had this watch almost a year, now, and wear it less and less.
I've had Casio G-Shock watches before, and like them a lot - accurate,
sturdy, rugged looking, so I thought the analog and digital combination
would be a good idea.
Like many attempts to be all things to all people, this fails miserably.
I'll tell you why.
Digital: the display is too small, the backlight too dim, and 6 to
8 hours per day either the minute hand or the hour hand (or both)
are obscuring part of the display. For all practical purposes, it
is an analog watch.
Analog: to set the watch, you hold down a button (and you have to
hold it down pretty hard) and the minute hand advances - slowly -
which moves the hour hand. If your watch is 2 minutes fast, and you'd
like to have it accurate, you need to advance the hands through 11
hours and 58 minutes. If you're flying west to another time zone,
you have to advance the hands through 9 (or 10 or 11) hours.
As a side note, I might also mention that it has glow in the dark
hands. Sounds okay, until you notice it doesn't have glow in the dark
numbers (or dots). If you look at it in the dark, you really can't
tell if it's 3:00 AM, or 5 minutes to 2, or 10 minutes after 4. You
can be pretty sure it's night, though.
Bottom line: my suggestion would be, if you want an analog watch,
buy an analog watch which can use a stem to easily set the time/date/etc.
If you want a digital watch, buy a digital watch with a nice bright
display that isn't obscured for significant portions of the day.

Digital Display UnreadableNov 16, 2008
By D. Kennedy
I prefer dual analog/digital display Casio's but this one was a mistake. The digital display is too small with too little contrast between the characters and the background. One cannot glance at the digital display, one must pause and focus on it to read it. I too usually leave it displaying the date and just glancing at the watch, like when signing a check, isn't a causal gesture, it requires holding the watch at the right angle, right distance and without motion. And give up on the digital display between :22 and :37 minutes past the hour.
