Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a really nice watch if you can take the price. If you are not a watch collector or geek you may want to forgo this one however. It has about 50 different functions and only four buttons so getting it to do something specific is not very easy. As a matter of fact the included owner's manual is some 40 pages of microscopic print. Fortunately you can down-load and print a manual with larger type from the Casio web site (you'll need it). The watch has 6 hands and 5 dial faces. Three of the dial faces have multiple uses so just figuring out what mode the watch is in requires noting the positions of all 6 hands on all 5 dials and then comparing the configuration you see to diagrams and descriptions in the manual.
The second time zone feature is nice and swapping your home zone for the zone of a city you are visiting is handy. It just takes 16 key strokes (presses?) and is described in detail on page 37 of the manual. By the way, while in Switzerland this spring I couldn't get it to receive time signals from either England or Germany. The Swiss hate the watch because they say that they can do everything mechanically that it can do electronically so I wonder if they are jamming the signal.
Everyone notices this watch. That is good and bad. The good is you can take it off and show them how light it is and how many functions (dials, hands) it has. The bad happens if they ask you to demonstrate one of the functions. In that case you have to pull out the manual and start reading and pressing and comparing. The other bad thing is when you pull the manual out they see "Casio" on the cover of the manual and say "You spent HOW MUCH for that Casio?".
I gave it two stars for bling and two stars for being geek. That's four stars, right?
