Review for model:

Very good watch, I wear it 10 hours a day and there are no problems. On one trip it rained and I hit it against a tree while saving my balance, it survived and nothing happened. Black color is the best because it matches any outfit. However, as one earlier comment mentioned, the backlight doesn't help much, you can read the time, but not more.

Great watch, at a promotional price extremely attractive financially. Casio is a company that produces watches that last for years, I've worn several and they are indestructible. Plus, I really like this style.

Overall, I am satisfied with the watch. It is almost exactly as described and, after learning how to use it, it's delightfully intuitive. Its most important advantage for me is its indestructibility and water resistance (I dived up to 3 meters deep in a natural water reservoir and absolutely nothing bad happened – however, it's worth remembering that a 20-bar rating does not actually mean water resistance at a depth of 200 meters – it's worth looking up information on this with your favorite search engine). There is one drawback: the dial backlight is not as great as one might expect – yes, you can see the hands and tell the time, but unfortunately the digital display and the rest of the dial are completely invisible – you won't be able to read the date, the seconds after the minute (these are displayed electronically, not with a hand), or the stopwatch time. Younger people might still manage, but older users with deteriorating vision might have problems. For me, it's not a big inconvenience, as I don't usually check the time at night and, even if I need to, I have a small flashlight – but for people who need a readable interface in low light conditions and don't have access to a flashlight, this is something to consider.

Reliable, indestructible, and also light and handy. It has all the necessary functions as a watch for civilian and service use. Plus, it looks nice.
