This is a great looking sports watch, and the light is really bright - it's a white LED both at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock, so it allows for nice visibility in low light.The stainless steel case is nicely polished and looks very sharp.This watch really looks more expensive than it is, and I've had people ask about it when wearing it.It's an eye catching watch.
The MDV102-1AV is 200m water resistant, which means it can handle you going swimming, snorkeling, even some diving without much problem.This watch has a screw-down crown too, which makes it even more water resistant.The only thing to watch out for is washing the dishes, hot tubbing, or showering with it - warm/hot water isn't great for watertight seals on watches.I've heard it can weaken the seals and cause a leak.
The little marlin on the watch is a great touch, and the face is very easy to read.The white markers contrast really well with the black dial, and even have a mirror-like edge to them, which makes the markers stand out even more.The offset date at 4 o'clock makes it look interesting, too.
My only disappointment was the band - it's a hard rubbery band and not very comfortable.That's why I took off one star from my rating.Aside from the band this watch really rocks!To solve that, I bought a Timex Expedition Adjustable 16-20mm watch strap TX977761L, Timex watchband, Fast - Wrap Expedition, 16-20mm, Black, Adjustable, Long.It's for a Timex Expedition, so it says Timex on it, but it's a great velcro strap that's really easy to adjust and install on the Casio.
If you decide you want to change straps like me, just pop out the strap that comes with the Casio, pull out and save the little springs, then attach the Casio (using it's springs) to the Timex strap.Took 3 minutes and I love the adjustable Timex strap, it's very comfortable and dries out easily when it's gotten wet.
I definitely recommend this watch.It's well worth the money for the water resistance, and looks really nice!

Great product for the price, only downside is the date is difficult to read as the numbers are so tiny, you will almost have to guess the date.Other than that, great watch for the price, looks good, feels pretty heavy and tough.
My search is over for a Casio dive-style watch.I went through two returns (AMW320R-1EV and AMW340-1A) before I got this one.Love it.It is way more handsome than the pictures indicate.LED is perfect, size is big without bulk.Style is sharp enough for the office and rugged enough for action.Very easy to navigate through set-up.Never have to buy a battery.Tough crystal face.What can I say...the perfect watch.
This is a very cool watch for the $$$ ... I've bought a couple of Casio's thus far and you can't beat them for casual style, battery life, functions and value.
This watch looks good and is easy to set up.The use of lcd's as a second hand is very clever.The drawback with this is that they are very hard to read even in bright light.I would recommend that the maker change the color of the lcd's for the second hand or use another medium to make them readable.
