Summary: Best watch ever
Comment: I've been wearing one of these Casio's for at least 15 years, I'm not very large, so I like it's smaller size compared to many digital watches. It isn't indestructable, (the darned strap attachment seems to be the weak link for me), but I wear it without regard to activity: swimming, showering, snorkelling, gardening. The count-down timer is the greatest invention, great for cooking, timing hoses (so I don't leave it running forever). I am having a difficult time reading the small count-down numbers now, but I know what the increments are, (1/3/5/10/15/20/30 min) so it's not really a problem. I have a hard time finding this watch locally lately, but Amazon comes through, and at a better price. I have three family members & numerous friends who also wear this watch and have the same affinity for it.

Summary: I love this watch
Comment: I agree totally with the previous reviewer (Mother with 2...) the only reason not to give it 5 stars is the lack of a light, but the countdown function is why I love it. I use it as an oven timer so I can leave the room and not worry about hearing something finish. I can go back to my desk when heating a cup of water, and not have to remember it 2 hours later. It's wonderful! The last time I had the battery changed, they messed up the timer function. :c(( Unfortunately, the store where I've purchased this watch the last few times does not consistently carry it, so I'm also going to buy two of them. They last for years, but I don't like worrying about whether I can still find a replacement when it dies!

Summary: The ONLY watch this great!
Comment: I have been buying this watch for over 20 years. If you are time-challenged, distractible - a member of the ADD club, or are a very busy multi-tasker - this watch is a MUST buy . It will change your life. I think of it as "a countdown alarm on a strap" It sets for 1-3-5-10-20-30 minutes at the touch of a button. You don't even have to LOOK at it because it beeps as the [very] tiny bar across the top coordinates with beeps you can hear as you press. As the ADD Poster Girl (with no sense of time - really!), I *need* alarms to stay on track. But if they are a hassle to set I don't! I've looked *everywhere* for watches with this feature and nobody else makes it.
I have bought *only* one watch besides this one, *only* because my local retailer stopped carrying it and I needed something NOW. It will go in the garbage the minute my new ones arrive.
The only down-side (besides the fact that it is an extremely homely thing - jewelry it is NOT), is that the battery is hard to replace without disabling features and flipping parts all over the room. I've never found it to work right when I put it back together, so I buy it again every time it goes dead - because it is ESSENTIAL to my optimal functioning. I just bought two more because I MOURN the day they ever stop making this watch. I don't do well AT ALL without it.
If you care more about functioning than fashion, BUY this watch NOW. (the strap can be changed, which helps).
