I’ve had this watch for about 3 days now and I am liking it more each day.
When I first received the watch I was a bit worried about the ability to easily read the reverse LCD display, though after a while and testing it out in bright sunlight, it is very easy to read. The features on this watch are fantastic. The manual is quite large but there is great information in there and it makes you appreciate the watch even more. Synching the watch works great, it hasn’t failed yet when it auto-synchs during the night. I am very happy with this watch and have no regrets with this purchase.
Pros: 1. Tons of useful features. Compass, moon phase, altitude, Baro Pres, and tide are very nice to have.
2. Looks great with the reverse LCD screen.
3. Very comfortable and not too big like one would think.
4. All around great watch.
Cons: 1. Temperature is only accurate after taking the watch off your wrist and letting it aclimate for 15- 20 minutes (per instruction manual).
2. Bezel turns much to easily. When worn under a sweatshirt or jacket, it turns from the simple pressure
of your clothes.
These cons though are minor in my opinion and I am happy with the purchase. Enjoy the watch if you choose to buy it.

I really love watches and was looking for a sporty/outdoor/weekend watch. I had a few requirements:
1. Does lots of neat stuff
2. The BIGGER the BETTER
3. Head turning awesome looks
4. Unique
5. Under $300
6. Metal band
I determined Casio was the way to go pretty quickly. I found this watch and it pegged the 5 star meter on my first 5 requirements. If you can find a watch that crams more functions into a watch let me know. Navigation of the functions is made simple by offering lots of different buttons to press (more fun)! This watch is seriously black on black…way too cool! The reverse lcd is soooooo unique that it’s the only way to go. Make no mistake…this is a large watch, but is is so light weight and designed (aesthetically) so well that it doesn’t look or feel obnoxious. You can actually wear this thing for casual functions…not just hiking mountains. Thanks to AMAZON’s sale price ($285) it met requirement #5. As for my obsession with metal bands, well, this strap/watch combination made me forget about all that. In fact this watch would be ruined by a metal band. The strap matches and syncs perfectly with the watch. This one is a keeper. I will mention a few small negatives for a complete review. The reverse lcd works extremely well outside and in well lit areas, but is pretty hard to see in low light (just means you get to press another button to light the display with a neat blue/green color). The bezel ring does rotate way too easily (just means you get to touch the watch some more). There is so much info crammed on the face that it is so small that you need good eyesight or readers if your over 40 like me (just means you get to stare at the watch even longer). Buy this watch…you won’t regret it!

I ordered this watch while deployed to Haiti (I’m in the Army). When I got back to the U.S. I couldn’t wait to open the package and try out my new watch. I loved everything about it except the bezel ring was loose and rattled slightly, making a tapping sound. Even though the watch was only minutes out of the package, I was outside the 30 day Amazon return window, and had to send the watch to Casio for repair/replacement under the warrenty. Casio contacted me to inform me the watch could not be repaired and they would replace it with another watch of equal value. The reason they could not replace it with the same watch is that this watch is made exclusively for Amazon and Casio does not have any in stock and no way of getting any. Now I’m being forced to acept one of the older models that I have no desire to own.
If you decide to buy one of these beauties, keep in mind that Casio does not have the ability to replace it, should something go wrong. Had I known this in advance I would have went with another watch.

Rather than narrate my opinions I will get right down to brass tacks.
Pros:
Watch can light up when tilted 40 degrees towards you.
Light weight yet very solidly built.
The tide level, altimeter and barometric displays are great.
There is nothing on the watch or the band to scratch or catch on arm hair.
The price is about right, I am glad it came down because I do not see it worth the first price posted.
the time can be viewed at about any angle.
Buttons are large and sure. Not cheap and tiny.
The reverse coloring is what makes this watch what it is.
Almost all the text is useful. CASIO, MULTI BAND 5 and WATER RESIST 20BAR are the only things not directly related to a function of sort. Nice.
Perfect size for me but I am 6’4″. Very big watch but not overblown for show.
Cons:
The crystal is very reflective, I’d have liked to have non-reflective material used.
Battery level is show by a H or M which is way small. The letters look the same at this size. I’d rather had seen a 1 and a 2 or something else to not get mistaken.
If you have bad eyes this watch will really be a challenge for more than the time, date and day. I am still trying to figure out what the bezel says.
The alarm is too quiet. Way too quiet.
The inner ring has a purple tinge that I don’t like.
Biggest plus: Altimeter and barometer.
Biggest minus: Reflective crystal.

I was in the market for a while looking for a good trekking watch to use on my many outdoor adventures. For the longest time, I wanted the Tissot T-Touch Trekking watch, and when I found a great deal on one I picked it up. First of all the watch was nice, I liked the cool functions of the watch, but it was kinda small and seemed fragile. I wore it for a few months, had to baby it after reading the problems with water that the Tissot has. Then one day I came across this beauty, this is a man’s watch if I ever saw one. 50mm lots of cool buttons and functions, and to top it off, its ALL black, with the reverse LCD display. This watch looks rugged, and it is. It’s not a poser like the Tissot. Sold the Tissot and ordered this one right away. The watch was everything I thought it would be, based on the pictures and reviews that I had seen. This watch serves me in two area’s. One, its tactical and that meets my job requirements, and two it has all the features I need for my backpacking, camping and water adventures. Reverse LCD display is easy to read during the day and has a cool light to see it at night. 15 mins after looking through the manual, I had all the features and buttons figured out. This baby is water resistant to over 600 ft, no worries about getting this one wet. On top of everything, I have had more complements on this watch in a short period of time than my Submariner. Even inspired a few friends to pick up a pathfinder for themselves. If your on the fence, jump off and grab one of these suckers, you won’t be dissapointed!
