First of all it's a casio, and with that comes the fact that it will take a beating and not quit...Really like the fact that the city codes it shows for the time zones are more in line with major cities that you may actually go to. Love that the world time is set up so you can see home time above the city in the world you may be in. Handy for when I gotta call my wife at home and I'm in a different time zone. Getting used to the dark display, my other casios all have the lighter screen...People criticize the timer, but for me it's excellent due to the fact you can do a long enough time option to cover any flight (since I work on airplanes, that's a great thing). I also like the strap, even though it's rubber, and usually they scratch or dig into my skin. The looks are great.
Now, to the negative...the alarms are very low compared to my other casios...and the even though the led options are great for the alarm/timer/etc., I wish it was like in the "mudman" where the whole...Read more

Extra "Perks"...,

Like all Multi Functional G-Shock Models this one is loaded!
2 options I found that were extremely helpful.
The first of which is contrast adjustment. I was reluctant to go with the negative display (Light digits on a Black background) but it looks so cool I took a chance. The contrast can be adjusted to bring out the digits in different lighting conditions. A first for Casio as far as I know.
The second perk is a "flash" alert. There are two led's embedded at 6 o'clock that flash when an alarm event is activated. Countdown/Alarm/Hourly etc... Perfect for when I'm wearing headphones and can't hear the tone!
There are a lot of features packed into this baby..."Casio-files" will LOVE IT!!!

This is my second G-Shock watch. Before this one, I had a "Riseman", which I found to be too bulky. Moreover, all of the gadget functions on it weren't all that accurate or useful.
I still liked the G-Shock line, though, and when I saw this one, I decided it was time to buy another G-Shock. I am so completely satisfied with this one, and I love it.
The adjustable contrast on the negative display is a nice function, but leaving it at the middle setting (4) - even in dim lighting - is fine. It's very, very legible, and I don't know what others have complained about. I was worried that I was buying the negative display for the 'coolness' at the sacrifice of clarity, but I'm happy with the display and find it to be no detriment to visibility.
The alarm is loud and high pitched. Very audible. The customizable by day and time functions of the alarms and signal are super handy. For instance, my hourly signal is active from 0800 hours through 2000...Read more
