The watch required very little setup out of the box. It was running and accurate. I had to change the readout from Centigrade to Fahrenheit and meters to feet. The directions took some time, but then the change was easy to accomplish.
Positives: The LCD is sharp and easy to read with large numbers. The compass feature is accurate, and the barometer appears to be also. The countdown timer was a must have for me. The feature that has the back light come on when you turn your wrist to look at the watch is pretty cool.I would rate these qualities with a "5".
Negatives: I had to take two links out of the band, and there were no directions for that so it was tricky and the parts are reeeeeal small. The altimeter has me at 400 feet in my living room at one reading and 600 feet at the next. The thermometer picks up your body heat, so it must be taken off and set aside for about 45 minutes to get an accurate room temperature.The auto-light feature doesn't work in all lighting conditions and the light button is flush with the watch... VERY hard to find in the dark...a raised button would help.At this time I would rate these features a "2".
Overall: It is a good watch. It is larger than a regular watch, but is attractive and easy to read.It may be overpriced, but so far I am glad I bought it.
(I have had the watch for about three months now.. It is a great watch.I don't use the extra features very much, and the black area around the crystal has a few small scratches that let the metal show through, but I am still happy with the watch.)
((I have had the watch for a year now.Never had to adjust the time or worry about anything.It is working great!))

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.
I love this watch. Never needs to be reset. No battery to replace.
First off I should note that I am a long time user and lover of Casio G-Shocks. I have owned several over the past couple of decades starting in the military. This is my first dissappointment with Casio watches.....
the best ever made for realprof diver . 365 daysx4 yeas of use at more than 200mts
It was tough trying to find this watch in the UK as most places had sold out for Christmas. Was really glad it was available in the US, and the price was reasonable. The watch came in the time stated which was good but I had to pay extra on tax which bumped up the total price for the watch and I didn't really make any savings on it. I product was in good condition and my other half will not take it off, he is one happy bunny!
light weight,durable,accurate.wish it was easier to fit a different band with it. It's easy to set and the little dials (24hr clock, day, and date are dead on). I hate how some dials of this sort seem to float some,and aren't dead on their intended setting. However, these dials aren't for the far-sighted.
