Bought this watch in July of 2008.Very macho looking!A real eye catcher!I liked it's dual analog/digital functionality for jogging, hiking, and limited water resistence for the pool.The crown is not a screw down type (more later on that) so I won't recommend it for scuba diving. The band is very comfortable and the analog dial is easy to read in low lighting.It kept good time.About(+/-) 5 seconds per month. Now the bad.About 3 months after purchasing it I noticed that the analog time was way off but the digital time was correct.At first I thought maybe the battery was running low but when I happened to push in the crown after resetting the time the second hand stopped moving.I pressed on the crown again and it stopped again.I pressed a bit harder and the second hand completely stopped.Also the bidirectional rotating bezel was too loose for my liking and would move out position too easily. This appears to be due to poor machining (ie; "Made In China").It is not the clicking type of bezel on many diving watches.I don't mind it not having a backlight but the alarm is quite low and can easily be missed while listening to any thing at a moderate sound level.It does not have a digital countdown feature which would be nice.Since it was still under it's 1 year warranty I called Casio's repair center in New Jersey and they were very helpful in explaining how to return it.The customer must pay shipping to Casio.They pay the return shipping.Unfortunately, they could not replace this watch with the exact replacement and sent me a new model AMW320RD-2AV.It's the one with the dark blue dial instead of the black one.I actually like this blue one as much or more.It appears almost black at certain angles and lighting but dark blue when viewed directly.The alarm sounds a bit louder and the bezel is tighter.So in summary I gave it a three star rating because of the defects in quality and reliability.I would have rated it lower but my compliments to CASIO on excellent customer service.The turn around time for replacement only took two weeks using UPS ground shipping.Hope this is helpful and my experience was rare and not common with this model.
