Not so stylish as expected
January 6, 2009
The setup of this watch is a hassle. absolute No-Go without the manual.
Maybe it's because we live in Germany and all examples are given for the States. I had to google for geografic locations, Tide times , ...
The light on this watch is a yellow LED. unfortunately very dimm. Would have liked a stylish blue one( lumibrite )
Overall more watch than you would expect for this little money.
Looks even better than it is showed on the website

I am very satisfied with this product. It is the best one I can find in the same amount of price.
Although it really puzzled me how to remove the links, after removing the first one, you'll completely understand how they are linked and the following will be quite easy.

gives quite detailed manual.
Overall, I am 99 percent satisfied with it. The only flaw might be that the screen is easily got scratched... To solve it, toothpaste maybe works?...
Moon phase is out a bit... otherwise good

Good watch and easy as to set up if you read the manual (can get it online). The moon age is out by a day constantly though (which effects the tide graph), and it doesn't look like you can adjust this (it calculates from your 'home site data' and date) other than fiddling with GMT time or lunitidal interval values... which isn't ideal and probably isn't accurate either. Apart from that it's a pretty cool watch... just wish it was more accurate with the tides coz I use it for water sports. 5 alarms is good (I struggle to get up sometimes ;), auto light is handy at times. Tide graph is hard to erad when it's low tide coz the display is little. Case isn't all stainless steel either, it's plastic where the band pins join to the case which is a bummer coz it won't be as strong.
Difficult to program

I like the watch and plan to use it for kayaking in the SF Bay area. I am still experiencing trouble programming it however. Perhaps Casio could provide better instructions and/or calculations to set it properly.
Amazing for the price!

This is without a doubt one of the best watches I have ever had!
As other reviews say, it's a lot of watch for the price. It's a little tricky to set up if you don't know what your doing, so just read the instructions & follow them step-by-step, and it's easy.
The band is a bit big, but links can be taken out, or put back in to adjust the size, so no big deal there. The Tide & Moon (even Sun angle) features are pretty handy, & great if your doing anything such as a sailing trip, to a hike in the woods. It came in the mail SO much faster than I had anticipated, and arrived in perfect condition. I highly recomend this watch to anyone that needs an everyday/outdoor watch.
5 Stars!
