Shock Resistant, 200M Water Resistant, Magnetic Resistant
Though this watch is designed to withstand exposure to magnetic force, you should still keep it away from machinery and appliances that generate a strong magnetic field
Exposure to strong magnetism can cause timekeeping to slow, affecting timekeeping accuracy. Accuracy +/- 15 seconds per month
EL Backlight with Afterglow, Dual Time, Daily Alarm, 1/100 Second Stopwatch, Auto Calendar (pre-programmed until the year 2039)
I am a firm believer in KISS functionality and this pretty much epitomizes that. Solid features for the price (Alarm, dual time zone/UTC, STW, date). The illumination feature for the digital display is excellent and is bright enough without turning you into a walking flashlight. The hand and numeral day-glow is really good as well, and a little bit of light will keep them glowing for hours. Again, bright, but not too bright. From my personal experience and perspective, this a better watch than many of the $500-600+ watches being worn by some of the guys I know. Love the strap design on this watch, almost impossible to break it or have it torn off. Overall, the toughest and most rugged watch Ive ever owned and for a lot less than Ive paid for others! :-)

Actually a lot more compact than I thought, but better looking than in the ad. Some have complained about the difficultly in setting the watch features, but follow the little handbook and you should have no problem. It took me less than ten minutes to get everything the way I wanted it. Some have said that this watch could be worn with a tux. I wouldn't go that far, but it's certainly OK for Biz wear. The one big problem, commented on by other reviewers, is that the strap is too short. My wrist is about average size, but I can't get the strap to not pop out of the retaining slide because it's not long enough. Also, forget about any luminosity in the dark on the hands or numbers. That's why three stars.

It's a great watch for the price. I appreciate the dual time display. Analog is on local time and digital is on zulu time for me. It's durable and simple. It's very light weight. The light is enough to help you see the digital time with out being bright enough to mess with your night vision. This is also not a huge watch like most G-Shock watches are. It does not have a sweeping second hand but seconds are displayed on the digital display. The watch does not break the bank which means I won't be to bothered if I destroy it. It's a tool not an heirloom.
