Aside from the band this watch really rocks. My only disappointment was the band – it’s a hard rubbery band and not very comfortable. The only thing to watch out for is washing the dishes, hot tubbing, or showering with it – warm/hot water isn’t great for watertight seals on watches. To solve that, I bought a Timex Expedition Adjustable 16-20mm watch strap TX977761L, Timex watchband, Fast – Wrap Expedition, 16-20mm, Black, Adjustable, Long. This watch really looks more expensive than it is, and I’ve had people ask about it when wearing it. It’s an eye catching watch. This is a great looking sports watch, and the light is really bright – it’s a white LED both at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock, so it allows for nice visibility in low light. The little marlin on the watch is a great touch, and the face is very easy to read. It’s for a Timex Expedition, so it says Timex on it, but it’s a great velcro strap that’s really easy to adjust and install on the Casio.
