(More customer reviews)I spent a lot time picking this watch. I was looking for something that I could wear all the time; whether I'm in a suit, wakeboarding, or just hanging out, this watch is great. The look of this watch is really sharp. I was concerned that this watch would look huge and garish, but it's really not. It's bold, but doesn't go over the edge, and I am comfortable wearing it in basically any setting.
The build quality of the watch is excellent. All the hands line up with the proper dial marks and the second hand matches up with the tick marks exactly. The buttons have a solid feel but are also not too hard to press. The watch's different functions are fun to use, though I'm not sure how useful they really are, excluding the atomic timekeeping, of course. I should mention that the atomic synchronization works like a charm (I live in DC.) As for usability, you probably have read other places that this watch requires a degree from MIT to operate. This isn't entirely true. You will have to spend 15-20 minutes paging through the manual to get a good idea of how everything works and which buttons do what, but it's really a pretty simple watch once you get to know it.
I didn't give it a full 5 stars for three reasons. First, I have some doubts about the strength of the metal band. It's too light for my tastes. While this is probably because Casio was trying to keep the weight down, it feels a littleflimsy for such a heavy watch. Second, the glass is domed, not flat. This creates lots of reflections and makes the glass more visible than I prefer. It could have at least been given an anti-reflective coating. Last, the luminescent paint used by Casio, Neo-Brite as I believe it is called, is not really up to the quality of the watch. Compared with the Super-Luminova stuff, this fades much more quickly. It can be seriously bright for a minute or two, but it will fade quickly after that. That said, after about 8 hours, it is still visible in complete darkness, if just barely.
All in all, this is a great watch. As I noted, it could stand some improvements, but it is really a good watch that should last a long time and I would highly recommend it. I'm looking forward to keeping mine for a while.
