“This watch does a cost effective job of meeting my criteria for a fishing / gardening / workshop watch.
Light and comfortable to wear.
Water proof for swimming and snorkeling
Very Easy to read in both bright sun and complete darkness.
Solar powered, so no need to open it up and replace batteries.
It tells me how much charge it has , but a full charge will keep it going for at least 18 months without exposure to any light.
Includes count down timer and stopwatch.
Has a Perpetual calendar, so no changing the date 9 times a year.
Easy to turn daylight saving on and off.
This is the updated model, hence the "U" in the model number, so it can show the date in Day / Month order, and has a better backlight , amongst other improvements.
The purchasing process was easy, the price was reasonable, packaging was very good and delivery was prompt.
Reading the tiny printing in the excellent comprehensive instruction booklet was difficult , so I downloaded a PDF from the Casio web site before purchase.
(look for the module number - 3496)”
“As a daily beater it's great,
my reason for four stars is that the watch band could have been a little longer as it is I have to use the last hole and the watch is still tight on my wrist.”
