Casio Men's W728HD-1AV Illuminator Sport Watch

I was first drawn to this watch by it's looks and the fact that it's a Casio. I've had great luck with Casio's over the years, and the fact that this sported looks I really liked made it a pretty easy selection ... along with the the great price. I've had it for several months now and I can say I'm very happy with it. I'd give it a 5 star rating except for the following design short falls I think warrant some mention:

1) All watches that feature plastic strap pieces (also sometimes referred to as resin) will, in time, develop cracks and splits in them if they are exposed to moisture ... sweat, humidity, water ... and not dried promptly after exposure. Knowing this, I fail to see why a mostly metal watch would be made with any such parts. Since they are bound to fail before the metal parts, this counts for me as a design flaw.

I ordered this watch to use as a traveling timepiece. The illuminator feature and metal band are great features for a watch in this price range. I'd categorize it as a medium sized (compared to other digital watches) timepiece. G-shocks are much bigger and bulkier and frankly, this one is affordable enough that I can replace it if it breaks. Countdown, timer, and alarm features all work as advertised. Date is a little hard to read but not impossible.

I was quite impressed with this watch. It has all the functions that I was looking for in a watch.
This watch is an ideal gift for any teenage boy or young man.. Also, you can't beat the price!
All I can say is that I am very happy and content with my purchase (which I bought two).
