Another good deal I stumbled across and another watch to add to the collection, this watch has had quite a number of good reviews and comments from lots of watch forums and reviewers. Firstly for what you get for the price, for a reputable known brand name watch maker and company with a good track record, the Casio name is known the world over and they didn't just pop out of nowhere in the late nineties with a fake Swiss or German brand name to fool people. The watches are assembled in China, (like almost everything in the world) but it's 100 percent Japan movement, engineering and Casio quality control. (Even Seiko and many others outsource to their own facilities in China) This is why this watch isn't selling for 500 bucks or much more. Stainless steel, mineral crystal, everything functions as it's supposed to and stated, date, glow in the dark, screw in crown plus it's a 200 meter dive watch.(660 feet!) The first thing I did after getting it was order a nice matching stainless steel wristband to class it up to my style, which also costed peanuts. If I lived in California or Florida I would jus keep the rubber resin band on, but I can always change it back whenever anyway because it actually does looks good too. Many owners decided to get Nato straps or leather wristbands, lots of options to change the overall look. Basically for the 50 dollar price range (or 35-40 bucks range in the US) this time piece is a steal. I usually wear Citizen, Bulova or Seiko, but I'll wear this one for a while as an everyday watch and see how it keeps time. I don't foresee any issues though. This watch can hold its own against other similar dive watches that you'll pay 20 times or more for. It also looks good and is comfortable despite what whiners say, simple, classic and an easy to read layout. Some reviewers will nitpick about not important things, but they're just nitpicking. This watch would also be ideal for hitmen or assassins out on a job because it won't draw too much unneeded attention or contrast, it will blend in perfectly if carrying a canvas bag or other suitcases/bags, after the hit or job a fancier different watch can be put on and this one thrown away without losing sleep over money or replacing it later. If James Bond was real, being ex-military I guarantee he would be wearing this diver watch and not a Seiko, Rolex or Breitling, same goes for any spy or secret service. What kind of watch or anything can you get for 50 bucks these days anyway. Highly recommend.

UPDATE MARCH 11, 2016 - I've had this watch almost 2 months now and it hasn't lost a second.
I also gave it a number of water tests, and it passed them all. I left in a glass of water overnight a couple of times,
would give it a few good slaps and put it back in the water. (Not super hard or slaps against against the wall, just against
the palm of my hand to simulate a sudden jerk or movements like swimming) In the morning it was ticking away like it was nothing,
No sign of moisture at all. I did this water test one more time, why I don't know, I just did. But again the watch just laughed at me.
It said "bring it on, is that the best you can do, puny human". This watch is one of the best deals I've come across in a while, not just
as a watch. It just laughed and laughed at my water torture tests.
I also decided to try a new band to change the look a bit, to make it look like my other watches, but I still have the original resin band and can put in back on whenever I want. This photo is with the new stainless steel band after the water tests I did. Extremely satisfied with this
watch, Casio doesn't make junk.
