Amazon.com Product Description
The simply designed Casio G-Shock Classic digital watch for men offers shock resistance that's great for your most vigorous sporting activities. The durable rectangular black watch case measures 45mm wide (1.77 inches), and it's matched to a comfortable black resin sports strap. It includes a stopwatch function that can measure events down to 1/100 of a second for the first 60 minutes (and down to 1 second from 60 minutes to 24 hours), and it offers elapsed and split time modes, and 1st-2nd place times. It also has a countdown timer with a 24-hour range. Other timekeeping features include a multi-function alarm, hourly time signal (which can be turned off), and 12/24-hour formats. This timepiece also features an Auto Calendar (pre-programmed until the year 2039), 15-second accuracy per month, Afterglow backlighting, and water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet)--which will stand up to the rigors of recreational scuba diving.

The watch is fine. I've used this or similar models for 20? years. The only gotcha, The price dropped $2 the next week.
I've got 4 sons. This watch or it's similar model was given to each when they reached 14.
Great watch, my 4th December 22, 2008

I love these watches, I hope they keep making them. This is my 4th. The first 3 lasted 6-7 years each. The electronics never failed, but the rubber will fall apart eventually.
Greatest working man, sport and retro watch ever! December 17, 2008

This watch has seen me through some of the roughest applications I can think of. from 150 mile bike races, to all day dish washing at resteraunts, to swimming on the beaches of Cozumel! I have other watches that I wear for style, but this watch is what I wear when I want a watch that does the best job. It's time is dead on accurate!! It is digital duh!?!?! Anybody that loves the 80's, Marty Mcfly, Huey Lewis and the news, as well as working like HE double hockey sticks should buy this watch and not think twice about it!!
Similar to the old classic December 17, 2008

My first exposure to a G-shock was in the engine room of a USN destroyer, on the wrist of a gas turbine technician while we were standing the midwatch. "That watch looks tough," I said. "I don't know...let's find out," he replied, then took it off, picked up a rubber mallet and started pounding it like a madman. It bounced around on the deck plates but never cracked or broke. I was sold.
This watch looks identical to that watch but is deficient in a few ways. The second time zone feature is gone, and perhaps as a result the functions of the buttons are rearranged in a way that feels screwy. New purchasers of the watch will probably like it just fine. Users who bought the old version for $25 twenty years ago from the commissary will have the unpleasant feeling of talking to a best friend who's been lobotomized.
It's still a solid product--excellent for all manner of outdoor activities (though too thick to fit inside a standard dress shirt sleeve cuff)--but I'm frustrated with Casio's poor headwork in redesigning it backwards.
Old style Casio December 16, 2008
Jack W. Blankenship (Santa Fe Tx.)
I have owned a couple of watches like this over the years and forgot how light weight and practical they are. The first watch [in the past] I ever owned that didn't get a rainstorm when worn by a working man. Don't let anyone tell you you can't put a flex band on because it can be done. Highly recommended.
