Especially for the price, a useful, long lasting product.
This is the 2nd time I've purchased this watch.The 1st lasted 8 yrs, survived two infantry deployments to include a combat deployment, survived countless high velocity impacts with hard surfaces, and sustained only a few minor scratches on the lens in the process. The high lens glass toughness compared to most phone screens is a credit to Casio and an embarrassment for phone manufacturers.Over the years most of the logo and label letter paint rubbed out. They're textured and still legible up close. The watch band never sustained any visible damage.I only had to change the battery once the entire time I owned it.When it broke, it was only because the water resistant seals had finally wore out, and I showered while wearing it. The lens subsequently fogged up from the inside. An hour or so later the watch shorted out. If I hadn't exposed it to that concentrated humidity in its old age, I'm confident it would have lasted quite a bit longer. It had been showered with and fully submerged in corrosive pool and rain water countless times with no difficulties during the first 5 yrs of its life.It has a number of easily accessible and useful built in features to include a stop watch and alarm. Once one gets used to these features he or she can easily use the audible beep feature to, for instance, switch from clock mode to stopwatch mode and start/stop the stopwatch without looking at the watch.I've used the glow feature many times as a subtle makeshift flashlight during training for quick reading in the dark to minimize the risk of too much light being a target indicator. It worked well and didn't seem to significantly reduce the battery life.The lack of reflective metallic surfaces makes it an ideal infantry watch. It's high durability and stopwatch makes it an ideal watch for a gym environment.Overall it's an impressive combination of low cost, high quality, durability and utility.

Solid, Rugged & Readable
I wore a Casio DW-5600 for many years but the buttons can be a bit hard to press. I finally decided to try this watch which operates pretty much like the DW-5600 but has larger buttons. When I run I can start and stop the stopwatch function how without having to take it off my wrist. I was worried that the larger size might be a problem, but so far its been fine. In fact, the way the band is attached makes this watch conform to the wrist a bit better than the DW-5600 so it's actually pretty comfortable. That said, it's a G-Shock so you have to know going in that it will bunch up shirt sleeves and that's just the way it is. I like that this is a simple watch. It pretty much tells time, has an alarm a count down timer and a stop watch and nothing more. If you need an ABC watch then this isn't for you, but if you just need a good time keeper that can survive a bomb blast this is a good watch. As far as accuracy goes, I set it to the time on my computer (which is synced to NIST) down to the second. a couple of weeks later is it about two seconds off so that should work out to about 4-5 seconds a month. My other G-Shock is just as accurate so who need fancy satellite GPS 6 Band non-sense. Just set it and forget it!

Best watch.
This watch is probably one of the best watches. I’ve had definitely a good purchase and worth the money. The buttons work great the timer works great. It is accurate on time.

Use this watch eveyday
It's a comfortable watch that hasn't let me down yet. I wear it every day because it helps me keep track of time and it can really take a beating. It has some paint scratches in stuff that are my fault but no damage Has been done to the watch plus you can where it in pools of hot tubs. Great watch it has all the normal watch features but it's also durable.

Purchased in 2015. A true G Shock
Had to post this review on this watch. Bought back in March of 2015 to use as a durable watch for outdoors and work. After several watches, a few Apple Watches, and a few g shocks later this watch still remains in my collection. Had to change the battery a year ago.What an amazing g shock. Everyone should own one!
