Unbeatable value!!!
I've had 2 of these watches over the past 4 years (for me and my son) we treat them rough and wear them constantly at work and play. Fantastic is all I can say, does all it says it will. Tide times fiddly at first, you have to google the phrase in the hand book to get the appropriate values for your region, but that's easy enough.
One pain is the analogue hand adjustment...when the clocks have to be adjusted back one hour for daylight saving in the autumn, you have to depress a button for eleven slow clockwise rotations as the hands only move forward! (this maybe a qwerk of the two models I have but I doubt it)...you end up with a sore finger!!!
Watch straps break after much abuse...but the original items are cheaply available direct from casio..brilliant service, about £10...I wasted so much time trying to find alternatives assuming they would supply spares for a relatively cheap watch..I was wrong!
However now the watch is only £18, that choice will get a bit harder.
The face scratches fairly easily because it's raised, but polishes out with metal polish like a dream.
If you want a tide watch, that's tough, cheap, can be worn anywhere and still gets admiring comments (the blue face is great in the flesh) look no further. You will not be dissapointed!
Great watch for watersports and everyday
A brilliant watch, it does have a couple of minor faults, as others have mentioned the curved face is open to scratching, and the strap to breaking, however, these factors are thrown into minority by the positive points: the watch is great for sailors, it has a good count down feature sure to improve ones race starts, and having both analog and digital display means regardless of ones preference the time can easily and quickly be obtained during sport.
As well as being great for sailing and other water sports the watch it is also suitable for everyday life, it is stylish and (save for the strap) durable.
Also, the watch has five alarms, a big bonus in my book.
All in all a good value 5 star watch, I thoroughly recommend it.
Nice Watch
I've had this watch for a few months now and no problems at all so far... the dial has both digital and analogue displays and it all seem pretty watertight. It's good to know where the moon is as it helps to predict my wife's moods, and I have set the time times up and they have been spot on accurate as well. It's been bashed against a few door frames and a couple of wing mirrors in the urban jungle and there's not a scratch so far! I would recommend this watch.
