| 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful: | | 4.0 out of 5 stars 4 stars!, January 13, 2006 | | By J. Rounds | Ok got mine from chelsea' s watches. NP what so ever from that perspective.
About the watch. Its thick. Thats why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. They do a good job of desguising it with two tones but i would say from thickest point in the middle its about a half inch thick. I would prefer about half that.
On the upside! Coolest watch feature ever for 28 dollars:
lift your arm in the classic look at your watch motion and the backlight for the numbers turns on! Its actually smart about it too. The motion doesnt need to be super fast and motions that are downward etc dont trigger it. I can put up with some extra battery use for that much cool!
Alarm is typical watch loud. Its loud enough that youll notice it while your awake but dont plan on using it for an alarm clock.
Metallic styling is ok. There is a plastic part you can see on the picture that isnt the best look imo. You only really notice when you put it next to a truely stylish 100 dollar watch then you notice that plastic piece real fast.
All and all great value. | | Was this review helpful to you?
|  | | 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful: | | 5.0 out of 5 stars Casio Watch, March 27, 2006 | | By Thomas W. Sites | | I bought this watch for my international trip to southeast asia. I was looking for a modest priced watch that would allow me to view several time zones as I travelled, and continually revert to my home time zone while there. I was most impressed by this watch and would highly recommend it. Most electronic watches require an MIT degree to change or set functions. This one makes it so easy, that I did not even need to refer to the manual (which I brought just in case). I was able to clearly and easily see the times, and was also able to change settings, just by using my insticts. The digital display was easy to read at night, and the analog clock continually displayed the time at my home town. The alarm works easily and I used that almost every morning. It is also water proof to at least 15-20 feet (I tested that personally). I did some research and bought this based on other readers opinions, and am here to support those - get this one. | | Was this review helpful to you?
| | | 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: | | 5.0 out of 5 stars Good value for functionality and looks. Beware the plastic face., November 27, 2006 | | By M.D. | I needed a functional, good looking yet expendable watch - and this one fits the bill.
Pros:
- Great functionality. Does pretty much everyting I need.
- Looks pretty good.
Cons:
- The contrast of the digital face is very low. Difficult to read the digital numbers during the day except under fairly strong light.
- The face of the watch is a plastic - not mineral glass.- a material that seems to be as soft as cheese and scratches extremely easily. If you get this watch, as soon as you unpack it cover the transparent face with a protective film you can replace. Funny enough, 3M Shipping Tape works great for such purposes - so I use it for protecting surfaces of cell phones, IPods, etc.
All and all - a good value. | | Was this review helpful to you?
