Especially for the price, a useful, long lasting product.
This is the 2nd time I've purchased this watch.The 1st lasted 8 yrs, survived two infantry deployments to include a combat deployment, survived countless high velocity impacts with hard surfaces, and sustained only a few minor scratches on the lens in the process. The high lens glass toughness compared to most phone screens is a credit to Casio and an embarrassment for phone manufacturers.Over the years most of the logo and label letter paint rubbed out. They're textured and still legible up close. The watch band never sustained any visible damage.I only had to change the battery once the entire time I owned it.When it broke, it was only because the water resistant seals had finally wore out, and I showered while wearing it. The lens subsequently fogged up from the inside. An hour or so later the watch shorted out. If I hadn't exposed it to that concentrated humidity in its old age, I'm confident it would have lasted quite a bit longer. It had been showered with and fully submerged in corrosive pool and rain water countless times with no difficulties during the first 5 yrs of its life.It has a number of easily accessible and useful built in features to include a stop watch and alarm. Once one gets used to these features he or she can easily use the audible beep feature to, for instance, switch from clock mode to stopwatch mode and start/stop the stopwatch without looking at the watch.I've used the glow feature many times as a subtle makeshift flashlight during training for quick reading in the dark to minimize the risk of too much light being a target indicator. It worked well and didn't seem to significantly reduce the battery life.The lack of reflective metallic surfaces makes it an ideal infantry watch. It's high durability and stopwatch makes it an ideal watch for a gym environment.Overall it's an impressive combination of low cost, high quality, durability and utility.Ver másVer menos
