Same excellent value and quality that I'm used to, but the inverted screen is definitely weird.
To avoid confusion, I use aftermarket silicone bands from Ritche, purely for the aesthetic and not because there was a problem with the ones included on the watch.
I've worn these style of Casio calculator watches for most of my life, and despite some shortcomings that I will detail below, I really do love them.
The first thing to wear out is usually the bands, especially if you bring your watch into the shower. My bands typically last about a year, give or take a few months. I do bring mine into the shower, loosening the bands to clean my wrists, and I believe the hot water and soaps cause the plastic bands to become hard and brittle over time. I'm going to continue doing it, because I suck at time management and an easily replaceable timepiece is invaluable to me. Some people replace the whole watch after the bands break, since they're so affordable. My grandfather would stick the old watch bodies in places with glue, Velcro, or adhesive pads. Handy to have a tiny calculator clock in all of your working spaces.
Nice watch for the price
I purchased the black watch to add to my Casio collection. It's a fun little watch to wear. It takes me back to my nerdy high school days. I can read the display with ease. Yes, the buttons are small, but they are usable with a little bit of concentration or use pencil to push on it. Getting in and out of calculator mode is easy. The watch is a little bit smaller than I remember, but that makes no difference to me. It's very light and comfortable. Setting the time/date was easy as well. My only minor gripe is that it doesn't have a screen light. But for $20 I am not complaining!
Timeless Favorite
This is the 2nd time around I buy this watch for my boyfriend. The first one he broke, so undoubtably he was more than happy when I bought him another one. He barely ever takes it off, thanks to it being waterproof and loves the vintage look. I highly recommend as a staple piece to everyone.
Fun Piece of Nostalgia
This fun little blast from the past was a neat addition to my collection. The buttons work well and the calculator functions just as you would expect. The band feels cheap, but after all we're not after a serious timepiece here. The watch itself keeps great time, which was a nice surprise. Could you wear this every day? I don't really know how it would hold up.
