The screen is almost impossible to read in anything other than direct light, the buttons are so tiny even a child will struggle to press them and you need a degree in computer science to set the correct time, i have no idea how the stopwatch works and i think i set the alarm by accident and cant figure out how to switch it off. In other words, this is exactly how they where back in the day! if you like the nostalgia then you will love it, if you buy it to actually use as a timepiece / calculator i can guarantee you will get frustrated with it in minutes, the quality is exactly what you would expect from a Casio i.e. bullet proof. Although i have not gotten it wet yet, i am fully confident it will survive a shower and most likely a bath too! Worth noting that the watch itself is plastic / resin whereas the strap is metal, the back of the watch is standard stainless steel, the buttons are rubber. Style wise i personally like the look of the dark grey / black, you can get these in a silver or gold which have an easier to see display though in my opinion just don't look as nice. This particular model does not come with a backlight, as such you cannot read it in the dark although i never remember these having a backlight back in the day anyway? To summarise, in its favour its a well built and very retro time piece that does what it says in the ad. Against it the screen is difficult to read in low light and impossible in darkness, the buttons are tiny and for me at least was tricky to set up (though i didn't read the instructions) overall, i would recommend this watch for the memories and not the functionality.Read full review
