What’s not to love?
After finally figuring out the 4 time zones plus a hidden option for a 5th I was sold.The face is a bit on the larger size and was a discussion point. In the end it’s bigger than I’m accustomed but the pros outweighed that slight con.The Amber light is easy on the eyes and makes it clear to read.It’s a 10 year, or rather 7-10 year battery depending on use.It’s a heavy duty watch for an exceptionally affordable price. Many have stated it is comparable to the G-shock watches which is nice to know.My friend has a G-shock and we compared them. I prefer this watch to his G-shock hands down, mostly because it’s even larger than this Casio looking absurd on my wrist.The face frame is not plastic/resin but actual metal. This is an upgrade and does add weight to the watch and added to its durability.The glass is actual GLASS not resin. This is another upgrade from the other Casio watches I own which are that plastic resin that scratches like crazy. Yet another selling point. I love my other Casios and deal with the screen scratches because you know they’re durable AF but it’s sweet to know this won’t scratch.It’s 200 m/20bar water resistant so if I ever go diving I’m covered. The metal frame and glass are why it can be submerged to such depth making it a powerhouse construction.I attempted to change out the watch band but noticed that pin points are a bit wonky and I could not attach a silicone 18mm band. I believe someone else mentioned issues with this too. The pin just wouldn’t click in no matter what I did. So I placed the original band back, but not without a notable struggle. It’s something about the pin and the pin hole positioning. The original band is great so I will leave it as is or until something happens to the band.The tiny analog watch circle is pretty useless because IT IS SO so small. The analog circle on their world royale watch (AE1200) is more user friendly because it is larger and easier to see and read.All in all it’s functional, very sturdy with a bit more weight to it in comparison to say the royale (AE1200).It has other features like alarms, a timer and a stopwatch but I use this more for the different world time options and the larger screen which makes it easy to read.No need for charging.The mute option is fantastic.It even has DST (daylight savings time) which can be toggled on/off.Pretty sweet watch.

One of the best from Casio
I’ve never had a bad Casio, only varying degrees of good. This model is one of the best of the good. It has plenty of functions without being overbearing. It’s easy to read the time and easy to get to other functions when you need them.I was excited to see it rated to 200 meters—660 feet—below the surface, though I can’t say why. I won’t ever go deeper than six feet deep! But it’s still cool.Highly recommended.

The best value for money watch available.
In case you don't want to sort through the whole review - I would argue this is the best watch you can get for the money and it fits small wrists surprisingly well.I was hesitant to purchase at first due to the size, I have a very small 6.25" wrist but with the specs and price I decided to take a shot. I am still impressed at how well it wears for being as large as it is. I am very happy with the purchase.I have taken this thing into the ocean, I have done oil changes with it, it's gotten caked in mud working in the yard (blackland prairie soil is no joke), I've exercised and sweat like crazy in it, basically any hard use you can come up with other than bull riding - though I am fairly certain it would be up to the task.The world time is great, though I am sure not everyone has use for it. I was very happy that the countdown timer can be set to the second and I also like the digitized analog dial. Just in case I ever need to use it for a compass, it is slightly more helpful than estimating the position of the hands. You can't beat the 10 year battery life either.I really think everyone needs this watch in their collection. The only annoyance I have come across is the 18mm strap size. Like several other Casio's, the included strap flares to be more visually pleasing, but an aftermarket replacement would be much thinner. I have a large case expedition watch with the same issue that I switched out to an 18mm band, and yes it looks a bit out of place, but aesthetics for a tool watch is far down the list of requirements for me. If the strap does fail, you could always just buy another watch, it would probably be about the same price as crazy as that is.I honestly can't recommend this watch enough.

Amazing value
This is a fantastic watch from Casio and for the price, it is a knockout. I have other G Shock models as well as the World Timer and like this one the best by far. It is extremely comfortable, very legible due to the large numerals, feels very rugged and has all the features in a sport watch you could ask for. I am very happy with this watch and for $32 it is insanely priced for what you get.
