A digital time display over a gray dial allows time telling at a glance and it also has a day, date, and month calendar to keep you on track. Powered by digital-quartz movement, the 41-millimeter case is water resistant to a depth of 330 feet and is protected by a mineral dial window.
The Casio Story
With the launch of its first watch in November 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market.
In developing its own wristwatches Casio began with the basic question, ""What is a wristwatch?"" Rather than simply making a digital version of the conventional mechanical watch, we thought that the ideal wristwatch should be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way. Based on this, Casio was able to create a watch that displayed the precise time including the second, minute, hour, day, and month — not to mention a.m. or p.m., and the day of the week. It was the first watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that eliminated the need to reset the calendar due the variation in month length. Rather than using a conventional watch face and hands, a digital liquid crystal display was adopted to better show all the information. This culminated in the 1974 launch of the CASIOTRON, the world’s first digital watch with automatic calendar. The CASIOTRON won acclaim as a groundbreaking product that represented a complete departure from the conventional wristwatch.
Casio transformed the concept of the watch — from a mere timepiece to an information device for the wrist — and undertook product planning based on this innovative idea. We developed not only time functions such as global time zone watches, but also other radical new functions using Casio’s own digital technology, including calculator and dictionary functions, as well as a phonebook feature based on memory technology, and even a thermometer function using a built-in sensor. The memory-function watches became our DATA BANK product series, while the sensor watches developed into two unique Casio product lines of today: the Pathfinder series displaying altitude, atmospheric pressure, and compass readings.
In 1983, Casio launched the shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch. This product shattered the notion that a watch is a fragile piece of jewelry that needs to be handled with care, and was the result of Casio engineers taking on the challenge of creating the world’s toughest watch. Using a triple-protection design for the parts, module, and case, the G-SHOCK offered a radical new type of watch that was unaffected by strong impacts or shaking. Its practicality was immediately recognized, and its unique look, which embodied its functionality, became wildly popular, resulting in explosive sales in the early 1990s. The G-SHOCK soon adopted various new sensors, solar-powered radio-controlled technology (described below), and new materials for even better durability. By always employing the latest technology, and continuing to transcend conventional thinking about the watch, the G-SHOCK brand has become Casio’s flagship timepiece product.
Today, Casio is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, and the radio-controlled function means users never have to reset the time. In particular, the radio-controlled function represents a revolution in time-keeping technology similar to the impact created when mechanical watches gave way to quartz technology. Through the further development of high radio-wave sensitivity, miniaturization, and improved energy efficiency, Casio continues to produce a whole range of radio-controlled models.

This is a great watch with lots of features that chances are you won't ever use unless you're an Olympic athlete that jet sets around the world. Aside from timekeeping, it has the usual digital watch features such as stopwatch and alarm.
But it also has a countdown timer. you can either use the preset countdown times (which are mostly in increments of 5 minutes) or you can designate a specific time on the countdown timer.
This watch also shows the time for much of the major cities of the world.
The only issue I have for this watch is that although the customized countdown timer allows for multiple times to be set, the countdown timer will run the times in succession without stopping. I'm not a coach, so I have no idea why this is the case. I use this watch for the gym, and I time different rest periods between the sets of different exercises. But in order to switch up countdown times, you have to manually input them in.
Other than that, it's a watch with a lot of features at a great price.
I had a Casio prior to this one, but the band broke.
This came with fast shipping, but the band was too large. I'm not anyone's wrist would fit it. There are tutorials on removing links from the band, but the band doesn't have any pins to work with.
So, after much frustration with trying to find a places to help me out, I went to Dakota Watch Company. I happened to be in a mall at the time, so I found a kiosk - great customer service. They adjusted the band and it felt just fine.
When setting anything on the watch, it counts down, in stead of counting up - that was a little different.
The battery is supposed to last for 10 years, and provided the band and watch work fine...I don't plan on buying another watch. It was a good purchase for $25 and is pretty stylish.
I rated this a 4/5 because I was not able to adjust the band myself, and had to pay about $6 to have this done.
