Great watch with many great features. I love the size of the digital layout and the metal band is durable. To resize the band, push out the pins from the side that looks like screws.

Pros: Accurate, good looking, multiple alarms, timer, and stop-watch.

Cons: Metal band latch sometimes deforms, making it hard to latch. You have to bend it a certain way to make it work. The analog hands sometimes get out of sync with the digital time. You can fix that easily, but annoying sometimes. Lastly, at night you can’t use the watch features. There is a light, but it occupies a button used for setting alarms and such. So if you are setting your alarm, you can’t see the display. Timex has a night feature that, once enabled, turns the light on with every button press. My former watch had it and it was a very handy feature.

Great for the price.

Good watch but disappointed, November 20, 2007

I was looking for a watch with both analog and digital outputs. I found this one that fit the bill. It wasn’t very expensive so if it bit the dust at work I wouldn’t mind too much. The only problem I found was the dial window. It’s plastic. Soft plastic. Unfortunaly only a week after buying the watch I already had several scratches on the face that made it more difficult to see the face. If the dial window was more resilient I would be very happy with the watch and give it 4 or 5 stars but as it stands it gets a 2… barely.

Initial impression: Great watch for the price, January 18, 2008

I lost my casio edifice watch and decided to get this watch since it had all of the features that I needed (time zones, alarm, display date/day, etc.). The watch arrived the other day and so I thought that I would contribute my initial thoughts since I found the other reviews here to be useful.

This is a very solid and good looking watch. The display is easy to read with large numbers/letters and a bright back light, much better than the casio that I lost (and half the price!). Setting it up was very easy and it is comfortable. I prefer a metal band to the resin bands on the other version of this watch. The band is solid and easy to adjust (wikihow has a brief article on adjusting the band called “Adjust-a-Casio-S-935L-Watch-Band”).

The watch is thicker than most of the previous watches that I have had. At first I was concerned about this, but now that I’ve worn it for a while, I don’t really notice.

I haven’t had it long enough to notice…
